Prayer

I approached the computer this morning thinking I would post a cute Chloe story but I am sobered by a recent prayer request I read on David Griffith's blog. I don't really even know this couple but by name yet I feel connected to them as a sister in Christ. What a beauty the sovereignty of God is in times like these! I am encouraged by one of my favorite psalms:

Psalm 61
1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.

2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.

4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah

5 For you have heard my vows, O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations.

7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

8 Then will I ever sing praise to your name and fulfill my vows day after day.
