How Long, Oh Lord, Will You Forget Me?
by Helen Dowd


Psalm 13:1How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?"

Do you ever think that you are all alone, and that no one cares? Do you feel that even God has forgotten you? David felt that way when he wrote Psalm 13. He begs the Lord to consider and hear him. And then at the end he has assurance from God. Verse 5 & 6 - "But I have trusted in thy mercy: my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation… I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me."

HE IS WAITING

When the world is turned against you,
And you think there’s none to care;
When it seems you’re all alone, and feeling blue;
If you’ll turn your eyes on Jesus,
You will find Him standing there.
He is waiting: He has always been with you.

When the devil comes to tempt you,
Or he’s caught you in sin’s snare;
When he says that he will never let you go;
Then just turn your back on Satan,
Simply leave him standing there.
Christ is waiting: He will snatch you from your foe.

When you feel your life is hopeless,
Filled with trials and with care;
When you’re burdened down with problems and with stress;
Then just look up to the Savior,
And let Him your burdens bear.
He is waiting: He will give you happiness.
