I Cry to You
“Hear my prayer, O Lord;
let my cry come to you.
Do not hide your face from me
in the day of my distress.”
--Psalm 102: 1, 2
Some days are crazy at the hospital. The beds don’t stay empty. Every discharge simply means we have another patient – immediately! Those busy days require the best teamwork and personal best possible.
Thank goodness the Psalmist knew that it is a good thing to cry to God for help! Outside of work we are pressed by seasonal busy-ness and in work we are pressed by the usual busy-ness of business. In some ways these times can be our “day of distress.”
No matter what faith tradition we embrace, all of us have the potential to reach toward the empowering source of our lives. It looks like this is a good week to do just that. Have a blessed day in your work and in your leisure.
A prayer: Holy God, hear me as I cry to you, seeking an extra measure of your energy. Amen.
