When Overwhelmed, Remember God
I cry out to God, without holding back;
Oh, that God would listen to me.
When I was in deep trouble, I searched for the Lord all
night long with hands raised to Heaven for Him to see.

I know there can be no joy for me until God acts, I think
of God and I moan overwhelmed with longing for Him.
I don't sleep at night, I am too distressed
to even pray and I know that is a sin.

Has the Lord rejected me forever?  Will He never again
show His favor, is His unfailing love gone forever?
I wonder, has God forgotten to be kind - has He shut
me out?  Then I say; "No, not God- not ever!"

O God, Your ways are holy - there is no God as mighty as you.  You  are the God of miracles, wonders and salvation.
You have redeemed Your people.  Thank you, Lord! You came to me and took away every single problem for all time's duration.
