The One who lifts my head

Psalm 3:3 "But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory and the One who lifts my head."

The other night I heard a song based on Psalm 3, and I really enjoyed it.  The part that really stuck out to me is that the Lord is the One who lifts my head.  I have been struggling to not walk by my feelings for some time now.  After hearing this song, I asked the Lord to lift my head.  And even as I felt the feelings of heaviness and the temptation to disengage from what was going on around me, I knew the Lord was lifting my head.  Lifting my head to look on things heavenly and eternal rather than my feelings that are earthly and temporal. 

May the Lord ever be a shield around us.  May He be our glory.  And when we are down and feeling trapped in the circumstances we find ourselves in, may He lift our heads.  May He gently tug our chin up until our eyes are fixed totally on Him and not the situation around us.
