Thoughts for the day...a Birthday Prayer.

Psalm 13

A David Psalm

Long enough, God— you've ignored me long enough.
I've looked at the back of your head
long enough. Long enough...
I've carried this ton of trouble,
lived with a stomach full of pain.
Long enough my arrogant enemies
have looked down their noses at me.

Take a good hard look at me,
God, my God;
I want to look life in the eye,
So no enemy can get the best of me
or laugh when I fall on my face.

I've thrown myself headlong into your arms—
I'm celebrating your rescue.
I'm singing at the top of my lungs,
I'm so full of answered prayers.
