O LORD, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You. Let my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry. For my soul is full of troubles... I am like a man who has no strength... whom You remember no more, and who are cut off from Your hand. You have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the depths. Your wrath lies heavy upon me, and You have afflicted me... My eye wastes away because of affliction. LORD... I have stretched out my hands to You... Why do You hide Your face from me?(Psalm 88:1-14, NKJV)
Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is greatly troubled... O LORD, deliver me... for Your mercies' sake.. I am weary with my groaning... Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping... The LORD has heard my supplication; The LORD will receive my prayer.(Psalm 6:2-9, NKJV)
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.(Psalm 42:11, NIV)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.(2 Tim 1:7, NKJV)
I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.(Psalm 40:1-3, NLT)
