Adaptive Prayer Of Psalm 6:

O Lord, there are times in life,Where all I can do is cry.I am worn out and tired of waiting.Have mercy on me, heal me,Rescue me!Hear the sound of my weeping.Hold me close to your heart.May I feel the warmth of your embrace.Words of love, please whisper in my ear.

Adaptive Prayer Of Psalm 6:

Tell me we’re going to make it.I watch with expectation.Looking for the rising of the sun.I cry, “Come Lord!”Make your presence known.Make your presence known.Amen
