Psalm 13

This psalm can easily be read in less than a minute. However, grasping David's point will take me longer. There is no question that at many times in life we deal with awful situations. Times when the pain of anguish tries to consume us. David shared his secret for dealing with those time; he carelessly cast himself into the arms of God. My question is HOW? I don't believe it is a physical act. I believe it happens when we  change our attitude. When we give up self-defence, but continue to take up the defence of the oppressed. When we stop concerning ourself with ourself, and begin to seek ways to meet the needs of our oppressors. When we stop trying to be right, and look for the ways to bring out the good in everyone. When we never try to "get even" with someone who's hurt us, but leave room for God to act. I'll admit, I haven't suceeded following David's plan..........yet.
