Hear my prayer, O Lord
I am poured out today
Weak at the knees
And gasping for breath
Hear my prayer, O Lord
Death flaunts at every corner
Life’s protest is feeble
Friends hide away in fear
Hear my prayer, O Lord
How long must I be bent over
How long will fatigue win
Before you renew my song of hope?
Hear my prayer, O Lord
Do not be far away when I need you
Bend your ear to hear my cries
Walk with me through this death to living waters
Hear my prayer, O Lord

This was exactly how I was feeling yesterday when I looked to the Lord for strength to overcome one of my personal fears. Not death as an end but the death of a fear knocking on my door. I am learning. God is fascinating in how he connects us and calls to us through others. Thank you for sharing.
