Psalm chapter 6 verse 2.

Be gracious to me, oh lord, for I am languishing.

Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

This verse written by David in the middle of a p that's just showing how overwhelmed he is by the circumstances

around him at this point. Later he says he's weary with moaning, he's flooding his bed every night with tears

drenching his couch with weeping his eyes

he later says are wasting away because of grief and he's surrounded by foes all around him.

This is such a good reminder for those who trust in God that that does not mean things are easy in this world

it doesn't mean that we don't have heartache and hurt in this world and grief and

we get to the point sometimes where we are languishing, where our bones are

troubled. You can just feel his not just emotional but physical agony here and I'm guessing that there are some of you who are

listening right now who are there like you're in the middle of an emotionally agonizing time or a physically agonizing time and I just want to

encourage you with this verse be gracious to me oh, for I am languishing.

In the middle of your languishing, know that God is gracious, that God is good, that God loves you and God hears your cries. It later says in Psalms that God holds our tears in a bottle, he counts our tossings in the night, like he knows all the

languishing you're experiencing and he loves you and he wants to sustain and strengthen you as you trust in him.

So cry out to him, be gracious to me, O Lord, in the middle of my languishing, heal me,

O Lord,

for my bones are troubled, knowing that God hears those prayers,

that healing will be a reality in some way

in the days to come.

Lord willing, healing will happen soon,
