Scriptures

📖 1  I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me. 2  In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted. 3  When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

4 You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5  I consider the days of old, the years long ago. 6  I said, “Let me remember my song in the night; let me meditate in my heart.” Then my spirit made a diligent search: 7 “Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable? 8  Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time? 9  Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah (Ps 77:1-9, ESV).
