Pain

"How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and everyday have sorrow in my heart?"
- Psalm 13:2

3:59am.

Looks like another night without sleep.

The memories won't go away. The pain doesn't stop.

Questions. Haunting questions.

How can they do this?

Robbed.

Betrayed.

"For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me." - Psalm 38:17

"To crush underfoot, to deny a man his rights...would not the Lord see such things?" - Lamentations 3:34-36

"People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me" Lamentations 1:21

"Your wound is as deep as the sea. Who can heal you?" Lamentations 2:13

4:15am

Another night without sleep.

"Let your tears flow like a river day and night; give yourself no relief, your eyes no rest."
Lamentations 2:18

Dear Alfred,

I've had sleepless and depressing nights before too. I know it's tough. Keep holding on to God. He will carry you through.

I'll say a prayer for you. Don't give up.

Love in Christ,
Martine
