Psalm 13 - Ending days in Japan


"How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; my enemy will say, "I have over come him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the LORD for he has been good to me."


My time in Japan is drawing near, and often I have felt far from God. I fail even more often. But he is always good, and he does have unfailing, unconditional love for me, and for you, and for the Japanese.
