God of my life, to Thee I call;
Afflicted, at Thy feet I fall;
When the great water floods prevail
Leave not my trembling heart to fail!

Friend of the friendless and the saint,
Where should I lodge my deep complaint?
Where but with Thee, Whose open door
Invites the helpless and the poor!

Did ever mourner plead with Thee,
And Thou refuse that mourner’s plea?
Does not the Word still fixed remain
That none shall seek Thy face in vain?

That were a grief I could not bear,
Didst Thou not hear and answer prayer;
But a prayer hearing, answering God
Supports me under every load.

Fair is the lot that’s cast for me!
I have an Advocate with Thee;
They whom the world caresses most,
Have no such privilege to boast.

Poor thou I am, despised, forgot,
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
And he is safe, and must succeed,
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.
--William Cowper

Lord of All and Merciful Heavenly Father,
Your Faithfulness is unsurpassed and incomprehensible by us. You have forseen our days and have plans for us, for a hope and a future.
Thank you for all the ways you have opened for us in the past.
Help us in our weakness and fear and quiet our hearts by standing so near to us as the Shepherd does in the evening for the sheep.
They are comforted and can rest while he keeps his vigilant care.
Lord, Most Loving and Precious Saviour, Mighty to Save, thank you for your eternal provision for our good.
Receive our Love and prayers for help.
Let all be done in the Wonderful Name of Jesus.
