    My cry to the LORD

    O LORD, my heart is barren of joy; My face wears a smile, but it is deceitful. Grief lies hidden beneath, Veiled by a mask of cheer.

    When it Feels God is Silent

    Psalm 28:1-3 ESV “To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary. Do not drag...
