Psalm 10:17 NIV

LORD, you hear the desires of those who are hurting. You cheer them up and give them hope. You listen to their cries.

*I learned yesterday of a Friend’s husbands life threatening diagnosis when she texted me and asked to send out an urgent prayer request!

He dries

Our tears

When the world

Around us feels

Like it’s crumbling

He says

“My child

I am here.”

While the

World is confused

He gives us clarity

Even in the

Mess

He’s there

Reaching

Out saying

“My child

Let me

Help you

Clean up.”

He offers us

Peace

In the midst

Of chaos

Comfort in

The face of

Pain!
