Psalm 13 is a short but powerful psalm where David is struggling and asking God how much longer he'll have to wait for help. David feels like God has forgotten him and is hiding his face from him. David is feeling discouraged, worried that his enemies will win and that he'll be defeated.
But, even in the midst of all this pain, David still trusts in God. He declares that he will keep believing in God, and that he knows God will eventually help him. It's a reminder that even when things seem impossible and we feel alone, God is still there, and we can always trust in him.
Guided prayer: “God, I’m scared and I feel so alone. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through this. Please be with me and silence my fear. Remind me of your strength and power in my life, and comfort me with your presence. Amen.”
