It was the month of January 2014 and I was going through one of the most decisive situations of my life, the congregation to which I belonged practiced a false doctrine and I had to leave it. That implied leaving the ministry I was performing, as a result of which I lost who was my best friend, I did not find any satisfaction in my studies at university and as the only Christian in my family there was no one in my home who understood me. I felt that all those things around which I had built my life were crumbling, everything that had previously made sense to me seemed lost before my eyes and I began to feel alone.

It was then that the words of this beautiful psalm became alive for me and I clung to God as my only strength, months later I was serving in a community of believers that received me with open arms.

What is clinging? It is nothing more than holding on tight, it is nothing other than firmly insisting on a purpose. David did the same after having been confronted by Natán, Habacuc did the same when he saw that the Chaldeans invaded the earth, clung with such impetus to God as their only source of satisfaction, as their only reason for existence, as all that they had in this life and in the next, they clung to their Lord in this way in the middle of a dark panorama.

We should not consider the difficult moments of life as tragedies but as opportunities to cling to God, let's not forget that Jesus said "...and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. "(Matthew 28:20) he is all we need.
