When My Heart is Overwhelmed

When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 61:2b NKJV

When I have only the desire to be an encouragement, but no words, I turn to the only One whose words never fail. Whose words are always Truth, no matter the circumstances, and I thank Him for them.

Psalm 3:3-5 NKJV 
But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
I cried to the Lord with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah
I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.

Psalm 86:11-13 NLT
Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth!
Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you.
With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God.
I will give glory to your name forever, for your love for me is very great.
You have rescued me from the depths of death.

Prayer:

Father,

           Thank You for Your Word. Thank You for having it written down for our reference. Thank You that it is everlasting Truth - alive and active in us to make us into who You would have us to be and able to accomplish all that You have planned for our lives. We pray as St. Francis of Assisi prayed "Lord, make us instruments of Thy peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy." Let it be so, Father, in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
