In the day

    of my trouble,

I call upon You,

for You answer me.

           Psalm 86. 7

(When we pray,

something completely different 

opens up

     in unexpected ways,

and God is revealed.

Praying is not just

telling God

   we are in a big mess,

but realizing 

  He already knows that.

“Walk with Me

      through this.”)

O LORD,

we cry out to You

from this miry bog,

from this

   unending struggle,

from this barren place.

Redeem, dear LORD.

Cover us by Your mercy,

fill us with Your strength,

open our eyes

  to Your way through.

For.Your.Glory.
