I read this psalm tonight and it has helped me.
Psalm 102
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble;
incline thine ear unto me:in the day when I call answer me speedily.
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness:
I am like the owl of the desert.
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone on the house top.
Mine enemies reproach me all the day;
and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my my drink with weeping.
because thine indignation and thy wrath;
for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
My days are like a shadow that declineth; I am withered like grass
But thou, O LORD, shall endure forever;
and thy remembranceunto all generations.
Thou shalt rise, and have mercy upon zion
for the time to favor her, yea, the set time, has come.
for thy servants take pleasure in her stones,
and favor the dust thereof.
so the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD,
and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
When the LORD shall build up zion, he shall appear in his glory.
He will regard the prayer of the destitute,
and not despise their prayer.
This shall be written for the generation to come:
and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
For HE has looked down from the height of HIS santuary;
From heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
to hear the groaning of the prisoner;
to loose those that are appointed unto death;
to declare the name of the LORD in zion
and his praise in jerusalum;
when the people are gathered together,
and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days.
I said, O my GOD take me not away in the midst of my days.
thy years are throughout all generations
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth.
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
they shall perish, but thou shalt endure.
yea, all of them wax old like a garment;
as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed
but thou art the same, and thy years have no end.
the children of your servants shall continue,
and their seed shall be established befor thee
