You know what I long for, Lord;
    you hear my every sigh.
10 My heart beats wildly, my strength fails,
    and I am going blind.
11 My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease.
    Even my own family stands at a distance.
12 Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me.
    Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me.
    All day long they plan their treachery.

13 But I am deaf to all their threats.
    I am silent before them as one who cannot speak.
14 I choose to hear nothing,
    and I make no reply.
15 For I am waiting for you, O Lord.
    You must answer for me, O Lord my God.
16 I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me
    or rejoice at my downfall.” Psalm 38:9-16

Is the writer’s goal big enough? Why or why not?

Share Your World- Feb. 6 2017

Share Your World is a weekly challenge hosted by Cee Neuner. Every week Cee asks five questions and in answering them we, her contributors, SHARE OUR WORLDS.

To see all of Cee’s contributors answers or to share your world with them click the underlined link.

Here are this week’s questions and my answers.

Regarding your fridge, is it organized or a mess inside?

I guess you would call it an organized mess. All the produce is together. All the  sandwich meats and cheese are in the same drawer. I know where things are without having to look for them but you might not be able to figure out my system.

Do you prefer your food separated or mixed together?

I am a great casserole lover. I also love a plate full enough that all my food is forced to touch.

Do you prefer reading coffee table books (picture), biographies, fiction, non-fiction, educational? 

I am a reader of fiction, non fiction and educational books. Right now I am reading

Close your eyes. Listen to your body. What part of your body is seeking attention? What is it telling you?

My left Achilles tendon is telling me it is going to snow tomorrow. I need to stretch.

Optional Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? 

I am grateful to have gotten so much writing done last week and I am looking forward to my Facetime appointment with my editor and publisher.

O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your rage!
2 Your arrows have struck deep,
    and your blows are crushing me.
3 Because of your anger, my whole body is sick;
    my health is broken because of my sins.
4 My guilt overwhelms me—
    it is a burden too heavy to bear.
5 My wounds fester and stink
    because of my foolish sins.
6 I am bent over and racked with pain.
    All day long I walk around filled with grief.
7 A raging fever burns within me,
    and my health is broken.
8 I am exhausted and completely crushed.
    My groans come from an anguished heart. Psalm 38:1-8

Why do you think God was so harsh with the writer of the Psalm?
