I have become the ridicule of all my people-
Their taunting song all the day.
He has filled me with bitterness,
He has made me drink wormwood.
16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel,
And covered me with ashes.
You have moved my soul far from peace;
I have forgotten prosperity.
Lamentations 3:14-17 (New King James Version)
Dearest Abba, Father, many times I feel like a log tossed about in the ocean without direction. I don’t understand why my life is filled with so much pain and heartache. But I lift up my eyes to You as I seek to find the strength to trust in Your never changing faithfulness. I will wait on You and not despair. I will quietly wait for Your chosen time for my redemption and salvation. My heart is distraught, but I know that Your eyes are always on me because You love me dearly and You will not abandon me forever. Please don’t tarry and show me Your compassion, Yahweh-Adonai. Help me through the pain so that I will hope in You again. I believe Your promise to send me fresh mercy each day. Though I can’t see past today, I trust Your great love will never fail me. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, I wait upon You. Amen
