I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Where Is God?
Click to listen to Where Is God? I love this song because it is encouraging and happy!
Jesus Knows How You Feel
Doesn't it annoy you when someone claims they know how you feel, and you know they don't? "I know how you feel" is a popular phrase to throw around carelessly, and it gets aggravating to hear when the time comes that you'd like someone around that actually does know how you feel. Right before Tim left for his second summer on GloryBound I encountered this more times than I could count. I heard a lot of, "Yeah, my boyfriend and I live in different states, so I know how you feel," and "He and I only see each other at school, so I know how you feel." The truth is, very few of them actually knew how I felt! It drove me crazy!
Well, for everyone who shares this sentiment, I have good news for you. Whether you've been through the mildest or worst of circumstances, there is One who really does know how you feel. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15a). I know what it's like to suffer loneliness, so I can relate to someone who has suffered the same pain. I don't know what it's like to have parents go through divorce, so I can't feel the infirmities of someone who does. However, Jesus can relate to anyone, because when He was on the Cross, he not only bore our sins, but all of our pain, guilt, bitterness, suffering, and infirmities. Any sin or by-product thereof, He put upon Himself. Whatever your case may be, Jesus has already been there, and He knows how you feel!
