How long?
How long?
Sometimes I really marvel at the Psalmist - the way they patiently hope in the Lord despite their very difficult situations and circumstances. I'm quite sure what they went through were not easy, if not, their agony won't be recorded down and directed to the Lord in and with such honesty.
I wonder if I can ever have their patience, and for how long will I be able to hold out to a hope that seems so far and distant. It's those moments when you feel that you've ask, but the silence echo right back loudly and the prayers seemed to hit the ceiling and bounces back ... it's those moments when you feel that you've seek, but all you find are grassy patches that look the same as before ... it's those moments when you feel that you've knocked, but you've bruised your knuckles knocking yet you remain on the outside.
If only I have the patience and faith like the Psalmist ...
