For everything there is a season,

a time for every activity under heaven.

2 A time to be born and a time to die.

A time to plant and a time to harvest.

3 A time to kill and a time to heal.

A time to tear down and a time to build up.

4 A time to cry and a time to laugh.

A time to grieve and a time to dance.

5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.

A time to embrace and a time to turn away.

6 A time to search and a time to quit searching.

A time to keep and a time to throw away.

7 A time to tear and a time to mend.

A time to be quiet and a time to speak.

8 A time to love and a time to hate.

A time for war and a time for peace.

~Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NLT)

1 O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever?
 How long will you look the other way?

2 How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
 with sorrow in my heart every day?
 How long will my enemy have the upper hand?

3 Turn and answer me, O Lord my God!
 Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.

4 Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!”
 Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.

5 But I trust in your unfailing love.
 I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

6 I will sing to the Lord
 because he is good to me.

~Psalm 13:1-6 (NLT)
