Therefore let every one who is godly

             offer prayer to You;

in a time of finding only distress,

in the rush of great waters,

     they shall not reach him.

You are a hiding place for me,

You preserve me from trouble;

You encompass me

         with shouts of deliverance.

                           Psalm 32. 6-7

(First response is to pray,

                not panic.

The LORD may not pluck you 

    out of circumstances,

but He will bring you through.

What is Your way in this, O LORD?

Praying is not just a 9-1-1 call,

but an ongoing conversation, 

                   speaking with God

                   and learning how to listen.

"Come to Me.  Come with Me!")
