Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers were.--Psalm 39:12
Hear my prayer, Father...I am a stranger here on this earth. I don't know how to come in or go out without You. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Don't hide your commandments from me...Your statutes are my song during my pilgrimage here. My true home is with You in heaven. Here on this earth I walk by faith and not by sight. I need your directions and your guidance. I need your right hand to lead me and uphold me in the right way. When the darkness covers me, You are light about me.
Do not hold your peace at my tears...my sorrow, Father, is continually before me. You keep all my tears in a bottle. Have mercy on me, for I am weak. I am your beloved...he who touches me touches, the apple of your eye. You are gracious and merciful. I have been brought low, but You, O God, help me. I will rest under the shadow of Your wing because You have and will deal bountifully with me. You have delivered my soul from death and my eyes from tears.
