Psalm 143:7-10

Answer me quickly, O LORD! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD! I have fled to you for refuge! Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!

Lord, my spirit does fail, I am like a ship without a rudder as I struggle to know how to wrap up this guardianship. I know that You love me and stand between me and my foes but I am not sure I am hearing You. Lord, I know that Your good spirit is attempting to lead me, but I am not hearing. Has my hearing failed because of sin in my life? Am I ignoring that small, quiet voice in the back of my mind? Help me, Lord.
