I will come upon him

while he is weary and discouraged

and throw him into a panic,

and all the people

who are with him will flee.

               2 Samuel 17. 2

(When we are tired, discouraged

                  and alone,

    we are most vulnerable.

Beware,

     the adversary attacks in those times.

Behold,

     God's people respond

               by nurturing those around them.

We can stake our lives

             on God's promises

             and His Presence,

    "Do not fear.

                 I am with you.")

O LORD,

Help us to know that

           our physical well being

   directly influences our souls:

          our food, rest and activity.

And when we are weary,

             You are still with us.

Despite circumstances,

   "You are near, O LORD"

                     Psalm 119. 151

Help us also

           to help others

   that they may come to know You.
