Lead Me....

Psalm 61:2-4
2
From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3
For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me,
A strong tower against the enemy.
4
Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.

I love this water and these trees and this sunshine and this big blue sky stretching out above me.

And my heart is heavy tonight. I will be OK because…the Lord. But tonight, and for a while probably, there will be pain. The best I can muster right now is a prayer.

God, be my words when I have none.
Silence my tongue when words need not be spoken.
Humble my heart when it puffs up with the need to be right
Fortify my confidence when I am tempted to shrink from my truth
Block bitterness before its roots ever begin to take hold
Give me courage to seek you when it would be easier to seek external solace
Give me grace to forgive, faith to believe you’ve always got me, and hope for your highest good
Bathe my heart in your peace and love
Help me trust you to carry me through the next minute, the next hour, the next day, and every “next” of my life
AMEN
