How long
How long do I have to pay
How long must I endure the pain
What can I say to you
to ease the pain I've caused
I beg, I cry, I scream inside
I breath in-I hold it in-I let it go
My knee's are raw and worn
My tears flow like a torrid river
I sink to the bottom
I struggle for air
I take a breath and retreat again
How long - How Long

Read Elder Wirthlin's talk from Conference, "Come What May, and Love It".
My dear sister, how I want to take all your hurt from your heart, tho' I know I cannot, May you have comfort in knowing there WILL be an end to this pain! Just a little while longer. In the meantime,,, continue in your prayers, they will be heard by the Most High who understands and cares for you.
The scriptures tell us "just for a moment" (I'll look it up.)
Be back
1 O God, where art thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy hiding place?
2 How long shall thy hand be stayed, and thine eye, yea thy pure eye, behold from the eternal heavens the wrongs of thy people and of thy servants, and thine ear be penetrated with their cries?
3 Yea, O Lord, how long shall they suffer these wrongs and unlawful oppressions, before thine heart shall be softened toward them, and thy bowels be moved with ccompassion toward them?
4 O Lord God aAlmighty, maker of heaven, earth, and seas, and of all things that in them are, and who controllest and subjectest the devil, and the dark and benighted dominion of Sheol—stretch forth thy hand; let thine eye pierce; let thy pavilion be taken up; let thy hiding place no longer be covered; let thine ear be inclined; let thine heart be softened, and thy bowels moved with compassion toward us.
5 Let thine aanger be kindled against our enemies; and, in the fury of thine heart, with thy sword avenge us of our wrongs.
6 Remember thy asuffering saints, O our God; and thy servants will rejoice in thy name forever.
7 My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;
8 And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.
9 Thy friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly hands.
