Everyone experiences disappointment or sadness to some degree. In Psalm 13, David demonstrated what it means to trust God in tough times. Feeling forgotten, forsaken, sorrowful, and subdued, David cried out for God’s consideration and illumination. As he prayed, his perspective changed, and he was able to rejoice, even though his circumstances remained the same. I want to remind you that when you face difficult times, you must resist self-pity, trusting that God knows what’s best for you and can use even your hard experiences for good.
