Psalm 69:29-36

But I am afflicted and in pain; let your salvation, O God, set me on high! I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. This will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs. When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive. For the LORD hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners. Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them. For God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah, and people shall dwell there and possess it; the offspring of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell in it.

Your salvation has set me on high, I am filled with Your peace and joy; my afflictions are as vapors and mists in a breeze, You have heard my prayer. But, Lord, there are those near and dear to me, suffering from physical and emotional distress, who also love and adore You, and need release from their burdens. Despise not those dear saints, release them from their bondages of pain, confusion and loss. Bless my dear brothers and sisters on this Day.
