Do You Know Someone Far From God? [Psalm 61]
This is a psalm for someone who feels far away from the Lord:
1 Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
2 from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
3 for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.
“From the end of the earth I call to you….”
Whom do you know who might be feeling far away from God today?
Use the language in this psalm to pray for that person. When David asks to be led “to the rock that is higher than I”, he’s asking for a help outside himself.
Who needs God to reveal himself to him today? Who needs divine assistance?
“Lord, please lead my friend to the rock that is higher than her.”
