Psalms for Praying
Nan C. Merrill
Let my prayer be heard, O Comforter.
Listen to me, and answer me;
I cry out to You in the midst
of my pain.
Fear and doubt sought to capture me,
weaving webs of confusion,
breeding lairs of anxiety.
Sowing false seeds of empty promises,
they sought to take control.
Yet You, O Beloved, were ever near,
waiting for me to call upon You.
I offered my fears up to the Beloved,
and Love heard my cry;
I sought the One who ever listens;
once again, I know Love's Presence.
Yes,You, O Beloved,
bring my fears to the fore,
exposing them to the Light;
I abandon myself into your hands,
Into your Heart I commend my soul,
in You will I trust.
