GREAT AFFLICTION

The Psalmist shared candidly that he had to endure much affliction. Amidst the pain and suffering, he was determined to be faithful and true to God.

105 Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path.

106 I have sworn and confirmed

That I will keep Your righteous judgments.

107 I am afflicted very much;

Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.

108 Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,

And teach me Your judgments.     Psalm 119:105-108
