Psalm 66

Verses 8-12, 16, 20...
    Bless our God, O peoples;
        let the sound of His praise be heard,
    who has kept our soul among the living
        and has not let our feet slip.
    For You, O God, have tested us;
        You have tried us as silver is tried.
    You brought us into the net;
        You laid a crushing burden on our backs;
    You let men ride over our heads;
        we went through fire and through water;
    yet You have brought us out to a place of abundance.
    Come and hear, all you who fear God,
        and I will tell what He has done for my soul.
    Blessed be God,
        because He has not rejected my prayer
        or removed His steadfast love from me!

Psalms like this one are somewhat bittersweet for me, for I wish I could sing them honestly. But right now these words seem like a distant promise to which I'm striving furtively to cling and believe.

Is it true that He has kept my soul and has not let my feet slip? Can I testify that He has brought me out to a place of abundance despite the trials and burdens He has ordained for me? Do I have a song of praise for what He has done for my soul?

Or has He rejected my prayer and removed His steadfast love for me? 

I would do anything to catch a glimpse of what He is doing with my life! O Lord, illumine my eyes that I may learn to see my circumstances not with the eye of the flesh but the vision of faith.
  
    Let him who walks in darkness
        and has no light
    trust in the name of the LORD
        and rely on his God. (Isaiah 50:10)
