Deliver Me

Deliver me, oh God from the pressing weight of the world's anxieties as I walk this life filled with needless concerns.  What am to eat?  Where do I lay my head?  What do I have to cover my naked body?  Who will love me?  What about my dreams, and hopes, and visions for tomorrow?  What am I to do with myself, with my life, with my place in this world?

I am consumed by a ravenous hunger and an unquenchable thirst.  I seek the food and drink that satiate the inner longings of my heart.  I want to rest my head on a soft but warm embrace that envelops my soul.  I long for the clothes of righteousness that only grace and blessings from above bestow.  I need to know I am loved in the deepest core of my being.  I want to be assured that my past does not imprison and rob me of a glorious future.  I crave for a chance at redemption to get up every time I fall believing in the purpose of my existence.

Oh God, deliver me!
