But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness. Deliver me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters. Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me. Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. Hide not your face from your servant; for I am in distress; make haste to answer me. Draw near to my soul, redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies!
Lord, as I struggle with a trial or test, it often first becomes a lesson in patience. Will I wait for You to provide the answer, release me from my torment, heal the sickness, relieve the anxiety and remove the depression? Do I trust You, do I really, truly have the belief that You are true to Your promises? When will I learn to give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for me as I learn to lean on You for strength and guidance?
