Dear Eternal God,

"Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.  Guard my life, for I am devoted to you.  You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you.  Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I call to you all day long.  Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.  You are forgiving and good, O LORD, abounding in love to all who call to you.  Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.  In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me. 

Among the gods there is none like you, O LORD; no deeds can compare with yours.  All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O LORD; they will bring glory to your name.  For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. 

Teach me your ways, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.  I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.  For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave. 

The arrogant are attacking me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life--men without regard for you.  But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.  Turn to me and have mercy on me; grant your strength to your servant and save the son of your maidservant.  Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me."

(Psalms 86)

Speak to me Lord, for your child is here...listening...unveil my eyes let me see you...unveil my heart let me know you. 

There's a raging sea, right in front of me.  Tries to pull me in, brings me to my knees....so let the waters rise, if you want them to.  I will follow you...I will follow you. 

"Do you not know?  Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.  He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.  Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."  (Isaiah 40:28-31)
 
"Hold on just a little bit longer, the pain ain't going to last forever...believe me this is going to make you stronger."

"The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."
