Psalm 13:1-6 “For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me? Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death; lest my enemy say, ‘I have prevailed against him;’ lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.”

Crying out to God gets the poison out. If we allow our feelings to fester, if we dwell on them, if we nurse our hurts and resentments, bitterness and anger take over our souls. If we call out to Him with all our doubts and fears, all our cares and woes, we release them to Him and can exhibit trust again. Just the act of reaching out to Him reminds us that He is in charge, reminds us that He has helped us in the past, and enables us to praise and rejoice in Him again.
