O God, listen to my cry!
Hear my prayer!
From the ends of the earth,
I cry to you for help
when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
for you are my safe refuge,
a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
Let me live forever in your sanctuary,
safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Psalm 61:1-4 NLT
Reflection—
O LORD, I am overwhelmed by the trials that lay ahead.
I am not sure I’ll make it
I tire of the struggle;
my faith is weak.
I feel the arrows of my foes.
Please hear my cry for help,
and lift me to the rock that is higher than all my woes.
