comfort for my ache

I just got an email this morning me telling me I had not passed a language proficiency exam required for my doctorate. It was the second time I had not passed it.

I'm feeling low. Real low. Almost as low as the first time I didn't pass it.

I need to find my comfort and encouragement in Jesus.

Psalm 62:1-2, 5-8, 11-12

1 My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

...

5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.

6 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

7 My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.

...

11 One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,

12 and that you, O Lord, are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done.

I'm honestly not feeling "rest" in Him, and I do feel quite "shaken" right now. But I'm trying to look past what I'm feeling right now. I'm trying to find comfort for the ache I feel in Him who created me, Him who knows me best, the God who called me to this point, this place, this time.

But it's hard. But I have no choice, for who else has the words of life, but the One who gives me life.

"I love You, Lord, and I life my voice.
To worship You, O my soul, rejoice.
Take joy, my King, in what You hear.
May it be a sweet, sweet sound, in Your ear." (Keith Green)
