To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
Psa 13:2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
Psa 13:3
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God;
Enlighten my eyes,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Psa 13:4
Lest my enemy say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
Psa 13:5
But I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
Psa 13:6
I will sing to the LORD,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me

My Thoughts
There are have been times in my life where I have felt so discouraged and overwhelmed by life. I have felt that I am just sinking in the anxieties and cares without answers to why. Those are the times, I've encouraged myself to remember what God has already done for. Sometimes looking back on what've over come helps to hold you fast in the today and hopeful for tomorrow.
When you do this all of a sudden, you start to find yourself thankful for all that God has done for you and what you are facing seems less magnified in your life.
We ought to continue to Magnify (to make large) God in our lives esp when we are feeling down and out. Think more on the character of God versed the concerns of your day.
David did this and at the end of the Psalm, he was able to say, "I will sing because...."
My husband would always tell me to raise my hands and praise God when I felt stressed out. I didn't want to, and I felt a bit foolish, but just as with David, he sang anyway. Sing anyways. Those times I did feel lighter, I did feel better, I actually went from sorrow to praise.
You can too. Start making your mind think on Good things. Start praising God for every little thing and every big thing you can think of. Suddenly, I believe your perspective will change and you will be able to sing for the "bountiful things the Lord has done."
