I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn (Psalm 130:6; NLT).
All night long I prayed, with hands lifted toward heaven, but my soul was not comforted (Psalm 77:2; NLT).
In the darkness of the night:
Lord, I long to see your light.
In the stress of every day:
Lord, please show me how to pray.
I’m the dust of all the earth,
No beauty, merit, wealth, or worth –
And yet my soul’s your living breath:
Lord God, redeem my soul from death.
God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself (Psalm 49:15; NIV).
