“Hear my cry, O God; give heed to my prayer. From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” (Psalm 61:1-2)
This life is filled with difficulty, trials and travail. We each reach the end of ourselves and in those moments of lament cry out. The Lord knows what we shall say and do. The Lord knows what we think. In Him is the only refuge there is. In Him alone is the hope of all ages. Come into the presence of the Lord and know the comfort of the One who made all things.
Lord in You alone can we hope. Come and meddle in my life. No, take my life that I may be wholly thine and as You made me to be. Guide me in the eternal wisdom of the ages You have revealed that in You I may find all I need to persevere in this age of rebellion. Guide me, O Lord, in the way I should go that in You my hope and my life would unfold. Lead me to the rock of my salvation.
Rock of salvation, Jesus, the Ebenezer of us all, grant that in every time of trouble I would stand on You, the rock of my salvation. Keep me from the wiles of the wicked one and help me see more clearly that You have come to lead us through the fog of this age to become like You, the willing, obedient child of the Heavenly Father. In every place and time, may I be found in You Jesus. Amen.
