"The waves of death rose about me; the pains of the netherworld surrounded me. In my anguish I called to the Lord and from his holy temple he heard my voice." (Cf. Ps 18:5.7)
In the light of human existence, trouble, disappointment, frustration etc. encompassing man. Though some are self-made or being inflicted by enemies.
The Psalmist today in the entrance antiphon seen himself in the dungeon of pains, and cried out with hope in God:
"The waves of death rose about me; the pains of the netherworld surrounded me. In my anguish I called to the Lord and from his holy temple he heard my voice." (Cf. Ps 18:5.7).
This is therefore a sure reminder of our dependency on God. For we cannot do anything without the help of God. He remains our begining and the end.
However, let us be reminded that He had promised before hand that He will fight our battles, and that we only need to be silent (cf. Exodus 14:14).
Therefore, let us put our trust in God for He is too faithful to disappoint us. Keeping in mind that, trust hinges on faith, so a little of faith urges us on.
Peace! Be with you
Let us pray
May the working of your mercy, O Lord, we pray, direct our hearts aright, for without your grace, we cannot find favour in your sight. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
