Prayer In Time of Distress
Lord hear my prayer, let my cry come to You.
You Lord are enthroned forever, Your renown is for all generations. You will again show mercy to Zion. now is the time for pity – the appointed time has come.
Its stones are dear to your servants, its dust moves them to pity.
The nations shall fear Your name, Lord, all the kings of the earth, your glory. Once the Lord has rebuilt Zion and appeared in glory, heeding the plea of the lowly, not scorning their prayer.
Let this be written for the next generation, for a people not yet born, that they may praise the Lord.
“The Lord looked down from the Holy heights, viewed the earth from heaven, to attend the groaning of the prisoners, to release those doomed to die.”
Then the Lord’s name will be declared on Zion, His praise in Jerusalem, when peoples and kingdoms gather to serve the Lord. Psalm 102:2, 13 23
Come to me all you who labor and are burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy and my burden light. Matthew 11:28-30
