Have you ever experienced your cries just echoing back at you?

Kris writes what some of us might have felt…but like a great story, it has a good ending penned by the Author of Life, the master healer and King of kings. I think you will be touched.

"Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint...Find rest, O my soul, in God alone" (Psalm 61: 1, 2 & 5, NIV).

My eyes are very swollen from all the tears I've wept.
My heart is truly broken from troubles that I've met.

I did not ask for sorrow, I didn't ask for pain.
I want to let them go, Lord, each hurt that I've sustained.

I am so sad and lonely and no one understands
the battles that I've gone through with those who make demands.

They've placed so many burdens upon my aching heart.
I don't know what to do, Lord; I want a brand new start.

I can't take this abuse, Lord. I'm weak and very tired.
Please take this heavy yoke, Lord, the one that I've acquired.

Please speak to those who've hurt me and make them understand,
they've trampled on my heart, Lord, and ground it in the sand.

Then take me by the hand, Lord, and lead from this place.
Show me who You are, Lord, and bless me with Your grace.

I've heard so much about You and want to hear some more.
I've heard You are my Savior, the One I should adore.

Please lead me on a journey of learning who You are.
I want to know You better, and not just from afar.

I am so very willing to follow You each day,
but I'm not always able to do all that You say.

Thank You, Lord, for caring and giving me Your time.
I feel I have a friend now, One who's true and kind.

"Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge" (Psalm 62: 8, NIV), in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

When you pour out your pain, you know who will receive it, who will soothe it, and who promises to exchange it for peace.
