[From Feb. 16, 2010 archive]
My soul is cast down
within me; I am weary, O God.
Nothing I tried today
worked out. I could not prevail.
But suddenly I
realize I have been acting as if you are a
stranger to me, as if
I do not know what you have done.
Have I forgotten, in
my desert place, the mountains
and cool waters where
I have found you in the past?
Teach me to remember
my experience of you there;
and teach me to
rejoice in you, even in the desert.
