Where Does My Help Come

A prayer for doubt, from Psalm 121:1-2

This psalm starts with an actual question, eyes up, scanning the horizon: where does my help come from? Questions were never the enemy of faith; this one is faith, asked out loud. A prayer for asking it again and staying for the answer.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV)

The prayer

Lord, I lift my eyes and ask where my help comes from. It comes from You, the Maker of heaven and earth. You will watch over my life.

Make it yours: change any words that don’t fit, or stop at the one line that’s true today. Amen can wait until you mean it.

If this is where you are, these may help too
