"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng. Why my soul are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God." //Psalm 42:1-5 Even when you bring me to a valley, I know that you are unfailingly good. For it is in the valley that I grow, that my character is forged and where I have no choice but to hold onto you for I can turn to no one else. So even when I cannot trace your hand, I trust your heart - that your plan is always to prosper us, to give us hope and a future. So where there are dry bones in this valley, I will speak to them as you have commanded me to. I will say to them, dry bones hear the word of the Lord, for this is what the Sovereign Lord says to you, I will make breath enter you and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath into you and you will come to life. And I will look to you and wait upon you and look to no one else. For you see all that happens, you consider my grief and take in it hand and you are my unfailing hope. So even in the valley, I hold steadfast to the Rock of my Salvation and I look up and my soul waits, waits for the morning to break. For my tears may last through the night, but joy comes in the morning.
