But I, O LORD, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you. O LORD, why do you cast my soul away? Why do you hide your face from me? Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer your terrors; I am helpless. Your wrath has swept over me; your dreadful assaults destroy me. They surround me like a flood all day long; they close in on me together. You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me; my companions have become darkness.
Lord, news came last night of two dear brothers who have been sent out of state where the ability to make arrangements for housing, employment and support that are necessary before they can be paroled are much more difficult. Sustain them, Lord, that their witness would not be impaired, that they would continue to trust you for everything and that they would not lose faith in Your promise to never leave them nor forsake them.
