Need of Refuge and Strength

Lord,

You are my refuge and strength.

Life has become complex. The needs, confusions, conflicts, and weakness of life confront me. They seem to want to devour me and leave nothing left.

Lord, you are my refuge and strength

Things are flooding me right now. It is hard to focus Lord because so many things scream for my attention. I am not going well in prioritizing right now. Everything seems important. Should I pray or work? If I work which of the thousand things should I work on? If I pray which of the thousand things should I pray for and how should I pray for them?

Lord, you are my refuge and strength

Help me to just accept my smallness. Help me see that you ask me only to be sane, stable, and spiritual today. Others want me to do things I cannot do. You ask me only to do what you have made me able to do. You tell me you will hold all things together. Lord, help me trust you will not let me drown today and if I do drown it will be for some ultimate good.

Lord, you are my refuge and strength.
