Modern Psalms: Lead Me to the Rock

Dear Lord,

Hear the cry of your people. Help us as we navigate a dark, hopeless world. Remind us of the God we serve and your goodness. Remind us that You hold everything in Your hand and that You cannot be overcome, overwhelmed, or weakened by the comings and goings of this world. Nothing surprises You or catches You off guard. Everything– even the worries and tragedies we go through and see around us– has been ordained and sovereignly ordered by You. There is nothing that happens outside of Your knowledge and you use everything according to Your will; you work it altogether to accomplish Your purposes, which cannot fail us or leave us without You and Your Spirit.
