My Cry for Mercy

A prayer for grief, from Psalm 28:2

One line, no polish: hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help. Some days that's the entire prayer you have in you, and this psalm is proof it has always counted. Short is not the same as small.

Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help. Psalm 28:2 (NIV)

The prayer

Lord, hear my cry for mercy in this grief. I call to You for help. Be my strength and my shield.

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
