The Distress Psalm

There are very few times in my life that i will get all worked out and frustated. Angry and impatient towards my MUM. But tonight was such night... oh Lord i ask for your forgiveness.
And the issue is always the same.... My MUM always complains she can't get things done because so and so... and i will always need to solve it... I very tired from solving all these matters related to my father's will. Sometimes, i just wished i don't have such high responsibilities.. because of added stress that i think is not necessary at this very moment. I am the only Child..suppose to be the pampered one.. but nope, i am taking on the burden as the one in charge of everything that was in my Dad's name. I just want a normal life.. but from my childhood, i knew my life would not be normal. I tried to run from this responsibilities and problems.. but responsibilities has its ways of pursuing you.

i know my MUM sacrifice a lot to raise me up... and i appreciate the hardships she gone through.. and i am the only one who hears her. I want to be supportive.. but yet i failed tonight. The frustation just got into me.

Somehow, during quiet time, Psalm 25 spoke to me in the midst of this tense and uneasiness:

Psalm 25:16-22
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for i am lonely and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.
Consider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.
Consider how many are my foes,
and with what violent hatred they hate me.
Oh guard my soul, and deliver me!
Let me not be put to shame,
for i take refuge in you.
May integrity and uprightness
preserve me,
for i wait for you.
Redeem Israel, O God,
out of all his troubles.

AMEN
