Psalms 102:3

ExhaustionDiscouragement and depressionSickness and healing

1 Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry for help come before You.

2 Do not hide Your face from me in my day of distress. Incline Your ear to me; answer me quickly when I call.

For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like glowing embers.

4 My heart is afflicted, and withered like grass; I even forget to eat my bread.

5 Through my loud groaning my flesh clings to my bones.
