We can glean much from God’s Word in these three verses in Psalm 119. Verse 28 says, “My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to Your Word.” In Jeremiah 45:3, Baruch, Jeremiah’s scribe, echoed these very words when he lamented, “Sorrow has been added to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.” Nothing can zap our strength like sadness, sorrow, and mourning. It seems like never ending days that transcend into unending nights filled with tears, anxiety, and exhaustion. But God’s Word is quick to reassure us that He gives strength to the weary, (Isaiah 40:29) and with Him, we can stand strong in the midst of it all. In verse 50 we see that our comfort from our suffering and affliction comes from this… God’s promises preserve our life…His compassion and consolation helping us to gain back our life as we dwell in His Word. Finally, verse 114 tells us that God is our refuge and hiding place, so we can confidently place our hope in Him as we rest under His protective hand.
