The Hope

In fact, from time to time the feeling of expressing myself comes to my mind but it's been a while since it was so strong that I wrote something, anything... Tonight, maybe is the time when thoughts churning in my mind may explode if I don't put them in words. But how to find the appropriate words?
Here, may the Word of God come for help as there I always find the best way to express what I feel. I think that the psalmist David wrote it exactly as I would if I were just talented and inspired as he was:
Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;
    my eyes grow weak with sorrow,
    my soul and body with grief.
¹⁰ My life is consumed by anguish
    and my years by groaning;
my strength fails because of my affliction,
    and my bones grow weak.
These verses (9 and 10 from Psalm 31) are the very exact thoughts of my mind. But if we follow this psalm to the last verse, the words written are much more difficult to apply and identify with:
Be strong and take heart,
    all you who hope in the Lord.
Yes, it is easy to feed with our own distress but what it brings is only the distruction. The challenge in difficult moments as this one that I experience at the moment, is to hang on to hope. The hope that comes from the Lord.
Today, is the first day of spring.
