Hurting

My heart aches tonight.

I've heard from three of my closest friends in the last day or so, and they're all hurting.

My heart aches with my own ongoing struggles, but also with the pain of those I love.

I re-read one of my favorite passages of scripture last night, just before sleeping, and from it comes the cry of my heart, and the breath of hope for healed lives, and the commitment to continue to press towards Jesus.

I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.

Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

(Psalm 116:1-2)
