Psalm 42 (New International Version)
1As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?

3 My tears have been my food
day and night,
while men say to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"

4 These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go with the multitude,
leading the procession to the house of God,
with shouts of joy and thanksgiving
among the festive throng.

5 Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and 6 my God.
My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

7 Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.

8 By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.

9 I say to God my Rock,
"Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?"

10 My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"

11 Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.

I AM

I was reading a prayer request from Judi of Imaginuity on the CAST thread this morning where she mentioned Psalm 42 and was inspired to read this in its' entirety.
How many times over the years have I felt the desperation and pain of problems in my life that so overwhelmed me that I was drowning in my own self pity?
Married to an active alcoholic, I would sit at the window, watching the neighbor's husbands come home for dinner, while mine was sitting in a bar somewhere. My heart was breaking and the sadness spilled out in our home and my two sweet little girls had to suffer for it. Where was my Lord back then?
He was right there with me but I chose not to reach out to Him. I chose the despair. My heart breaks now thinking about it. I share my testimonies with you because I want to save even just one person from wallowing in that despair. We know that God is there for us always, just waiting for us to simply ask. 

Praise Him and allow Him to save us. We are at His will.
