I cannot fight this darkness deep

I cannot find my way

Help me, O my God

.

The faithful, godly people

Have vanished from the world

Help me, O my God

.

The poor and needy gasp for help

That’s nowhere to be found

Help them, O my God

.

The wicked encompass the earth

They shout out, exalting all evil

Help us, O my God

.

Your light has fought its way to me

Parting through the mighty sea

Help me, O my God

.

The strength of God enables us

Helps us finish what we must

Help us, O my God

.

Drive away the dark of night

Draw me ever to your light

Help me, O my God • Leah Najimy

• What problems feel overwhelming to you today—either in your own life or
in the world?

.

• God invites us to be honest with Him about the suffering we see and
experience, and to cry out to Him. God hears the prayers of His people, and
He does help. He parted the Red Sea to save the Israelites (Exodus 14:29),
and His Son came to earth to save everyone who would believe in Him. Jesus
is the Light of the World, and the darkness can never overcome Him (John
1:4-5; 8:12). How might remembering the ways God has revealed His power and
love in the past give us hope to bring our concerns to Him in the present?

.

Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me. Psalm 70:1 (NIV)
