Psalm 70:4-8
Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth. Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you. I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge. My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day.
Lord, it seems that the work that needs to be finished in the few days is piling up faster than the work that is getting completed. Help me, Lord, give me guidance. Let me see what is unnecessary and unproductive. Show me where I need to be applying my efforts, where I need to focus and where need to ignore. Like that silly little song goes, I need You as my tugboat to steer me safely through all this.
