Reflection

“I am sunk in the abysmal swamp where there is no foothold; I have reached the watery depths; the flood overwhelms me. But I pray to you, O LORD, for the time of your favor, O God! In your great kindness answer me with your constant help.” –Psalm 69:3, 14

Prayer

God in the depths,

So many people are struggling in places that feel like rock bottom. We pray especially for them today. For all those who are suffering, sick, or otherwise vulnerable. As we work together to help them through their trials, we ask you to fill them with hope. May they be given a new experience of your loving accompaniment that goes deeper than their struggles. By your great kindness, answer their prayers and use us to bring them your healing. Amen.
