When we cry to you, our God (Psalm 77)
Written by Michael Perry
PRAYING IN TIME OF DISTRESS
From Psalm 77
When we cry to you, our God:
hear us and answer our prayer.
When we are in trouble, when we are anxious and feel discouraged; and then we cry to you, our God:
hear us and answer our prayer.
When in the night we cannot find comfort, when we lie awake and think about you; and then we cry to you, our God:
hear us and answer our prayer.
When we are so worried that we cannot speak, when our faith falters and we feel you have rejected us; and then we cry to you, our God:
hear us and answer our prayer.
Then, our God, remind us of your great deeds
and speak to us of your strong salvation;
through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
