“God, I’m crying out to You! I lift up my voice boldly to beg for Your mercy. I spill out my heart to You and tell You all my troubles. For when I was desperate, overwhelmed, and about to give up, You were the only one there to help. You gave me a way of escape
from the hidden traps of my enemies. I look to my left and right to see if there is anyone who will help, but there’s no one who takes notice of me.
I have no hope of escape, and no one cares whether I live or die. So I cried out to You, Lord, my only hiding place. You’re all I have, my only HOPE in this life, my last chance for help. Please listen to my heart’s cry, for I am low and in desperate need of You! Rescue me from all those who persecute me, for I am no match for them. Bring me out of this dungeon so I can declare Your praise! And all Your godly lovers will celebrate all the wonderful things You’ve done for me!”
(Psalm 142, TPT)
