Blackness and trust

Psalm 31

One of my daughters feels very much like David when he wrote this psalm. Her boss talks behind her back about her, nothing that she does is good enough. For two weeks she was doing the work of  three people, including that of a full time employee but given the allowance of an intern. her long hours give her no chance to apply for other opportunities. Like David her strength is failing and she is in misery. Like David she is trapped as in a besieged city, trapped by her circumstances. 

But also like David she is searching for light and strength. 
David wrote ²⁴ Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
   all you who wait for the Lord.
And she wrote 

"There are many other rules but these are some of the most important. Try them and be surprised by joy. Jonathan Sacks, Five Rules for Life."

We can trust that as Julian of Norwich wrote "All shall be well".
