Keep singing


עַד אָנָה יי תִּשְׁכָּחֵנִי נֶצַח עַד אָנָה תַּסְתִּיר אֶת פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי
Psalm 13:2

How often have you found yourself thinking words like these? Very few people would say a prayer like this and  a lot less would write it to be read centuries later. Who are we to speak to the Almighty with words like these? The LORD knows we are humans. People full of all type of emotions. Men and women with strong faith, but often without any faith at all. The Merciful One understands humanity better than we could ever understand ourselves. We are fragile. 
It does not matter how strong, healthy or wealthy you may be; when an illness touches, you are weak, obviously sick, and no money can buy back health. Then your doubts overwhelm you. In tears, on your knees you look up to heavens and ask: "Where are you?" However, somehow, deep within your spirit a little light of hope breaks through your darkness and screams with all your strength, standing on your feet: "I will sing! I will sing to the LORD!" Keep singing.
אָשִׁירָה לַיי כִּי גָמַל עָלָי
Psalm 13:6
