Prisoner

I am a prisoner in a jail where I am the guard.  

David

 Where did David's enemies come from?  Were they external?  Internal?  Were they, through action or inaction, a product of his choices?  I am beset, and the only visible path is one of pain and sorrow.  Pray in general for me and my family.  Pray the Lord smiles upon us.  There is a road that we must walk, overgrown and thorny, and the destination is not one we would have hoped for.  Please pray for strength and endurance and ongoing faith that the Lord walks alongside us.
