Psalm 20 - In the Day of Trouble

Loving God,

At times when I feel distressed or fatigued or brought low by troubles in my life, allow me to hear the psalmist's promise in my ear: "May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob defend you; may He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion." Might it be so in my difficult times. Allow me to raise my distress to your ear. May you comfort me with your listening presence, defend me with your love, and strengthen me.

Amen
