Psalm 142

Verse 5...
    I cry to you, O LORD;
        I say, "You are my refuge,
        my portion in the land of the living."


This psalm shows David with very real, raw emotion. At first he is crying out, "No refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul!" But by the end of the psalm, he consoles himself in hope, "You will deal bountifully with me."  When I experience those awfully low moments, I need to boldy preach God's promises back to myself. Sometimes it's hard for my mind to instruct my heart though. I know His promises to be true, yet my flesh is so weak. Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!
