Psalm 142...

I cry out to the LORD with my voice;
         With my voice to the LORD I make my supplication.
I pour out my complaint before Him;
         I declare before Him my trouble.


Lord, I cry out to You with my voice. It is a relief to hear my voice crying out to You, my God.  I know now that I have come to the right place.  I know now, as I hear my own voice crying out to You that you will hear me and deliver me.  I am not going anywhere else with my problem...I am going straight to You.  You are my Father and I am bringing my heart full of care and troubles and turning it upside down before You.  I am holding nothing back.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
         Then You knew my path.
         In the way in which I walk
         
Lord, I feel covered in clouds and fog and can't see my way past them.  I can't think!  I feel pulled in every direction.  Father, I have no peace!  I cannot even see my own feet no less the path I should take.

Here is what I know, Father.  Despite my confusion, despite my anxiety, despite my crushed spirit...I can take comfort and solace in the fact that You know it all.  Lord, I know when I feel as if I am drowning in trouble and anxiety and have lost my ability to reason...You NEVER do.  When things are too much for me and I am overwhelmed then You carry me...you know the way I need to take.  You will not fail to help one who is trusting in You.  What a relief to know that I can just take your hand and let you lead.
