Then they cried to the LORD

                in their trouble,

and He delivered them

                from their distress.

        Psalm 107. 6, 13, 19, 28

(This refrain is repeated

    four times in 28 verses.

Do we

        cry out to Him,

        turn to Him,

        run with Him,

        trust Him in this?

We will have trouble

  in this broken world,

but God says,

    "Do not fear.

      I am with you.")

O LORD,

We go forth into barren places.

But we go forth with You.

Even in the hard stuff,

                  You redeem.

Help us to be faithful to You

   and do what is before us,

to abide in You,

to walk with You in this passage,

   as You turn our distress

                    into Your glory.

We just cannot see it yet,

  but You are changing the landscape.

  You are changing our hearts.

You are drawing us closer still.
