False Witnesses and the Hiding Place

Loneliness and Despair, I have not missed you. I hardly even noticed you were gone. Why have you come back? Why must you take over my mind like this? What is the purpose of your presence? For these answers I must look to God. I must believe this is for my good. I must believe this is not in vain. I must believe this will play a role in transforming me into the image of His Son. But I don't believe. My unbelief has taken over. My mind and body want to run. I am weary. The rest from you does not seem long enough. It was not ample time to build up my strength. I have sank low in a matter of days. My adversaries and my foes are within me, not without. The false witnesses are my thoughts.

BUT,

"In the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle;

In the secret place of His tent He will hide me;
He will lift me up on a rock.

Teach me Your way, O LORD
And lead me in a level path because of my foes.

Do not deliver me over to the desires of my adversaries,
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and such as breathe out violence.

I would have despaired unless I had believed
that I would see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.

Wait for the LORD;
be strong, and let your heart take courage."
