Answer us when we call,
O God of our salvation!
Free us from these pressures
and distress!
Show us mercy.
Hear our prayer.
People! People!
How long will our hearts be hard?
How long will we love what is worthless
or chase after lies?
Know this: the Lord takes care
of the faithful.
The Lord God hears our cries.
We can be angry
without sinning.
We can take a rest and really
think about what’s troubling us.
We can do what’s right –
even when it’s hard --
and place ourselves
in God’s hands.
Many say, “I want to see
better times. I want the light
of God’s face to shine.”
But God has filled us
with more gladness
than we’ll ever get
from food and wine.
When we lie down,
we can sleep peacefully,
for You alone, O God
help us to rest in safety.
prayer-a-phrased by Mary Harwell Sayler, ©2016, with scriptures from many translations on Bible Gateway
