Prayer of the Week
Apr 5th, 2009 by Mark Lefers
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
Be not far from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is none to help.
I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax;
it is melted within my breast.
You, O Lord, do not be far off!
O you my help, come quickly to my aid!
Amen.
(From Psalm 22)
