What does Psalm 31:16 mean? →Passage Context
14But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

Can your faith hold up when things are hard? I hope so for mine! This Psalm was written when things were hard. But no matter how hard things are, the Psalmist still knows who God is and what He can do when He wants to. Even when he is in trouble, he doesn't forget that the LORD's blessing is there.
Prayer
Father, let me know that You're there. I'm sure You're there; all I need to do is feel Your presence and be set free by You. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
