Prayer: The LORD Hears My Cry of Distress

         Lord, it feels like waves of death are surrounding me: physical pain, emotional turmoil, mental stress, chaos, helping kids navigate distance learning, trying to do full time work from home, taking care of the house, witnessing to a neighbor, navigating COVID (“waves of death surround”), lack of time and apparent ability, I am not managing us well in the time such as this. Help Lord!  

         Lord, I am in distress, so I call upon You, LORD my GOD, Maker of Heaven and Earth. I cry out to You, Christ Jesus Who won the war. My GOD, You hear my voice from Your holy temple. My cry enters Your ears. In You I put my trust! 

 “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; 
The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; 
My shield and the horn of my salvation, 
My stronghold and my refuge; 
My Savior, You save me from violence. 
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; 
So shall I be saved from my enemies.” 
2 Samuel 22:2b-4

        In the midst of this storm, I will stand firm upon The Rock, and take refuge in my Savior! 

Amen
