Lean on Me

Behold,

God is my helper;

the LORD is the upholder

                 of my life.

             Psalm 54. 4

(When do we realize that?

The reality lies two verses before this,

"O God, hear my prayer; 

   give ear to the words

                of my mouth."

When we pray,

when we turn to Him,

   our hearts and vision

   are readjusted.

       God changes us inside.

             He reveals Himself.

We are reminded through prayer

      that He is here.

He walks with us

           through the miry bog,

He pulls us out of the potholes,

He helps us, He upholds us.

The Hebrew word for uphold

   means that He sustains us:

to lean, lay, rest, support,

                 and lean upon.

Lean on Me.

How can we do that today

   in this very situation?

Lean upon, take hold,

bear up, establish, stand fast,

            and stay with Him.)

O LORD,

At the start of this day,

at the head of this week,

please remind me

  that we are not in this alone.

Please help us

          to lean on You

and watch how You sustain

  through many dangers,

  toils and snares.

Your grace has brought us

     not just safe thus far,

but strengthened

     and held fast by You.

You are my helper.

Empower us to not forget that.
