Psalm 102:12-17

Psalm 102:12-17
The Message (MSG)

  I think the last line of this section is perhaps the most important.  God does not dismiss your prayers.  God hears, and God cares, and God stretches out to help in the moment of despair.  This help may not always be exactly what we want, which is usually instant deliverance, but it is enough to get us through, to help us endure, to persevere to another day, one day closer to our deliverance, when all will be made clear.
  As we endure, as God brings us through the valley of the shadow of death, all those who make the valley their home will take note that we step forward, day after day, in the hopes of once more emerging into the light.
  Now that's a witness to the world.

May you press on today, with the strength of God around you, within you, before you, beneath you and behind you
