Lord, You have sheltered me in the refuge of grace. I need not fear the enemy of my soul. You have brought me out of the snare of death and lifted me from the torrents of destruction. Though I was entangled by sin, I could never save myself from evil. How beautiful is the cross that promises me salvation. I believe Lord. Help me with my unbelief. For I called upon You in my distress and You heard me. My voice reached the throne room of heaven on the incense of prayer. My foundation is set on You alone, God. Teach me the totality of Your truth. Hold me steady upon the rock that is higher. Come swiftly and cover me with mercy’s wings. The ears of my heart strain to listen to the Spirit’s prompting. As soft as a whisper and as sure as a breath are the commands that keep me abiding in You. Truly, those who love You heed Your instruction. I listen with my whole heart, God. I hear with my soul. Make me fully Yours. Under the blessed assurance of Psalm 4:1 and the authority of Christ, I open my heart in prayer.

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness.
    Give me relief from my distress.
    Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Psalm 4:1, WEB
