The One to Turn To

I don't know where you are this morning in your emotions and your thoughts, but perhaps this will help you verbalize your feelings to Him:

Hear my cry, O God;
Give heed to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I call to Thee
When my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For Thou hast been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy.
Let me dwell in Thy tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the
shelter of Thy wings.
- Psalm 61:1-4

O God, please hear me when I cry out to You,
please listen as I pour out my heart.
It doesn't matter where I am--
how far away from home I might be.
You are the One I turn to
when things just seem to
be too much for me--
when I'm fighting anxiety
or depression, fear or anything
that causes me to become discouraged.
O Lord, cause me to look to You,
for You are so strong,
so stable, so powerful and wise.
You have always been the
One to whom I turn for
solace, for strength,
for understanding--You have
always been the Source of
my strength against
the satanic forces in
this world.
Thank You, dear Father, that
I am seated with You--
secure in You
strong in You
sheltered in Your arms and
hidden beneath Your wings
