I cry to you, O LORD; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me! Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me.
Lord, I must learn that the purpose of The Troubles is to drive me to You; to teach me that You are the Refuge, the Healer and my Guardian. That You and You alone are the One who will never leave me nor forsake me. You are the One in whom I must always trust and thank in all circumstances.
