When I sink in the mire of turbulent emotions, it is You who rescues me with Your mighty hand, Lord God. When the floods of deception wash over me, You keep me safe upon the buoy of truth found in Your Word. Though the tears I cry make my soul parched with weariness, You are the Living Water that replenishes me in prayer. God Almighty, I thank You for hearing me when I cry out. Grant the eyes of my heart the clarity of faith that will keep me focused upon You, my Lord. Though You know my folly, the iniquity of my ways, Your grace is my hope. Though You see the inner workings of my being, Your mercy is my refuge. Your goodness thrills me, Jesus. Your incorruptible love is nourishment for my lonely soul. In the shelter of Your wings I find refuge. Under the Word of Psalm 69:13 and the authority of Christ Jesus, I pray.

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.
Psalm 69:13, ESV
