Taken from the book, "The Voices Within Us" by Jim Stewart

It seems like everytime I feel depressed something happens to me. I would start wondering if God even heard my prayers.  Now I have had many of these arguments with God, I never won any of them. One night I was having this argument again with God, wanting to know how long he was going to let my enemies destroy me and how long he was going to ignore me. Then a voice came to me and said, "Jim, read Psalms 13 and 28 and the book of James."

I got out my bible and looked up these verses. When I read the first line of Psalms 13, I was amazed by what it said. "How Long, Oh Lord? Will you forget me?How long will you hide from me?----

Psalms 28 said the same thing. The book of James told me that it was not God who left me, but it was I who left God. After reading these verses, a peace entered my soul and I prayed for more understanding. These verses helped change my life.
