The Thirteenth Psalm
From the King James Bible. A Prayer for Help in Trouble To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? As my college days are waning fast, I went into this trouble when I faced adversities over my academic performances. Distractions came with me to prevent me from focusing my studies. And it hit me. It hit me hard. It let me forget that the Father never forgot me and hide His face from me. I went into deep emotional trouble in relation my family, my friends and peers, and my faith in God. 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? Time after time, I get frustrated over myself everyday. I may have achieved something but everything else aside from it let me think I am a failure. I may smile before you, but deep inside the enemy has been exalting over me through my shortcomings,
