Look on Me (Ep 254)

Do you know people who are struggling with life’s troubles? Maybe they’re dealing with a spouse who’s declining mentally or grieving a death of a close friend. Maybe a weird physical symptom has arisen and they’re worried or their job is stressing them almost to the breaking point.  Or maybe you’re the one suffering. You’re facing a situation that is stretching the limits of your patience…..with God.  David, the writer of dozens of psalms, seemed to be in that sort of place when he penned the words of Psalm 13. Those words inspired the song I share today, Look on Me (And Answer). My prayer is that it will encourage those who are barely hanging onto their faith, encourage them (you) to wait and see God's answer. Look on Me, Lord (And Answer) Verse:How long, Lord, will you forget my name?How long, Lord, will you hide your face from me?How long, Lord, must I wrestle with my thoughts?How long, Lord, will my enemies defeat me? Chorus 1:Look on me, Lord, and answer my cry!      Give light to my eyes, Lord, don’t let me die!       Look on me, Lord, give ear as I call!      Don’t let my enemies laugh as I fall.  How long?Chorus 2:I trust in you, Lord, your unfailing love!      My heart will beat stronger with joy from above!       I sing to you, Lord, with unending praise!      Your good-ness enduring for all of my days. How long? ©2025 Mike Neifert (Based on Psalm 13)
