Welcome vs. Weary

"I am weary with my groaning" (Psalm 6:6). "My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of His correction. For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a Father the son in whom He delighteth" (Proverbs 3:11,12).

Lord, You've seen my weariness;
You have also heard my moaning,
And at times, I must confess,
I am weary with my groaning.

Yet I know Your purpose, Lord,
Is Your loving, wise correction.
Looking back with soul restored,
I rejoice in Your direction.

Chastening is never pleasant,
Yet I welcome its effect.
So I'll look beyond the present
Knowing by it You correct.
