From all their distress God rescues the just

Psalm 34:1-6

I will bless the Lord at all times;

his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul makes its boast in the Lord;

let the afflicted hear and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me,

and let us exalt his name together!

I sought the Lord, and he answered me,

and delivered me from all my fears.

Look to him, and be radiant;

so your faces shall never be ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,

and saved him out of all his troubles.

Prayer when in Distress

Heal my broken heart, My Lord, Heal my broken soul,

I feel torn apart, My Lord, And You can make me whole. 

Take me in Your arms, My Lord, And hold me to Your breast, 

I am oh-so weary, Lord, And You can give me rest. 

Wipe away my tears, My Lord, With gentle hands of love, 

Quiet down my fears, My Lord, With graces from above. 

Stay with me awhile, My Lord, For I feel all alone, 

I'm like a little child, My Lord, With You I feel at home. 

Help me bear this cross, My Lord, Help me with this pain, 

Unite me with Your Cross, My Lord, And I'll be strong again. 

Tell me how to cope, My Lord, Let me hear Your voice, 

Encourage me with hope, My Lord, Your way, my only choice. 

Set me on my feet, My Lord, And stay here by my side, 

Until I feel Your strength, My Lord, To walk in steady stride. 

Nudge me on my way, My Lord, But stay not far behind, 

Until I reach that day, My Lord, With renewed peace of mind. 

And on that day, I will say: My broken heart is healed, My Lord, 

And so's my broken soul, You are all I need, My Lord, And once again, I'm whole.
AMEN.
