The Cry Re-directed

"To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock:
Do not be silent to me,
Lest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go
down into the pit."
Psalm 28:1


Forgive, Lord, my Rock, for the times I've cried to others and not to You. For the times my expectation has been in men -- and women -- who are frail, who fail, who stumble and fumble along Your path, as I do.

Your step is always steady. Your step is firm. You, my Rock, never need a course correction. I can walk behind You, run behind You, dance behind You, and You keep my feet from falling. I will walk with You, run, with You, dance with You in the land of the living, and, therefore, I will not despair.
