Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer, From the end of the earth will I cry unto
thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 61:1-2
I must confess that I have been weak and weary, and struggling…
thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 61:1-2
I must confess that I have been weak and weary, and struggling…
My heart has been overwhelmed. And this is nothing to be ashamed of. For even the noble King David, the anointed of God and the sweet psalmist of Israel, had his times when he felt the same way. So I must be in good company.
The past several weeks have been difficult. My heart began to fill with sorrow when this “Beltway Sniper Case” began to unfold. I felt no connection with this other than having to endure the grief of having my own name mentioned over and over by the media, associating my name with evil.
Of course, I know God's Word. My old life has passed away, and Christ has long since made all things new. Still, I am human. I'm not a stone wall. And even though my life is now hid with Christ, I can still experience pain. Even Jesus wept. I'm no different. I am not a“spiritual Superman.”
In any event, I am far behind in my correspondence, I've had to lay it aside for a few weeks now as I go deeper into prayer. I have been praying fervently several times per day that whoever is doing this will soon be apprehended. I'm sure that millions of Christians are praying the same prayers.
