Moments of Distress and Fear

In moments of distress and fear, 
When shadows loom and hope seem near, 
We call upon the Lord above, 
And trust in His unfailing love.

God hears our cries, He knows our pain, 
His power delivers, breaks each chain. 
In darkest times, His light will shine, 
His graciousness, a love divine.

With confidence, we seek His face, 
In struggles, find His warm embrace. 
He listens, cares, and understands, 
Our lives are safe within His hands.

In gratitude, we live each day, 
Obedient to His holy way. 
Acknowledging His role so grand, 
We strive to honor His command.

Consistent prayer, our hearts align, 
Trusting in His plan divine. 
Through every trial, joy, and strife, 
We find our strength in God’s own life.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
