Seasons of sorrow are common, even for those who love and serve the Lord. As Alistair Begg reminds us, crying out honestly to God, just as Jesus did on the cross, is not sinful, but supported by biblical example. Psalm 13, for example, begins in pain—but by the end, the despairing psalmist is able to look beyond his circumstances and trust in God with a joyful heart. Through Christ, that same victory is available for all who feel forgotten.
1vHow long, O Lord? Will you wforget me forever?
How long will you xhide your face from me?
2How long must I take ycounsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3zConsider and answer me, O Lord my God;
alight up my eyes, lest bI sleep the sleep of death,
4clest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice because I am dshaken.
5But I have etrusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall frejoice in your salvation.
6I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
