For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead. Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands. I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah

The Lord God Almighty, the One who was and is and is to come. I need Your strength in these times of turmoil. Help me, Lord, guide me, bring me through the waters. You are my only sure rock, the only foundation that never fails. Let me not waver in the face of Your steadfast love.
