Rescue Me- A Modern-Day Psalm

Something I wrote a while back....

I’m lost…
I’m confused…
I don’t know which way to go or what to do.
I’m not sure there’s anything that can be done.
I feel alone.
You said You’d always be there, but I don’t know where You are now. I feel like I’m alone on an island. The only people here seem to make me more sure of the fact that I am up against the impossible.
This can’t be done….
I am opposed. I am disliked. I am talked about behind my back. I am in the crosshairs.
And the worst part is, I feel like I am hurting Your image and Your reputation. If people can’t follow me to You, will they get there on their own?
I know You are everywhere, but where are You now.
I need You…
I need Your strength
I need Your wisdom
I need Your direction
I need to know that I am not alone
I need You to rise in Your strength and Your power and defend me
I need You to come to me in Your love and compassion and hold me
I need You to look at me in Your grace and Your mercy and forgive me…
Forgive me for not trusting You…
You have never let me down. You have never failed me.
You have never given me a reason to doubt Your ability
I need Your eyes to see what mine cannot
I need Your strength to carry me because I am weak
I need You to come to my rescue.
Please don’t hesitate… Rescue me…
