How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?

But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
– Psalm 13:1-2a, 5-6

We are living in “How long, O Lord” days.  How long will we face this virus?  And where is God in this situation?  Why would he allow it?  We wrestle in our souls and in our hearts with questions, uncertainties, anxieties, disappointments, and sorrows.  The wrestling is real, and cry of “how long?” is real.

But in the midst of our wrestling, let us trust in God’s steadfast love. God loves us even now.  He does.

And we will rejoice one day in his salvation.  We will sing one day of his bountiful care through this situation and of his future blessings.  We will.
