Looking to the LORD for Mercy in Affliction

My sunken eyes turn towards you,

The light above is your throne.

A slave, I look towards your hand,

For the hope of favor in this land.

Show us favorable paths,

As the contempt rains down,

Show us favorable paths,

Arrogance stings the proud.

.

We've had enough of them.

With scorn like thorns as whips,

They mock us as we broach,

For the remainder of November, I will offer three prayers a day for such a time as this in our culture. I hope they will help all of us process whatever happens in the election on Tuesday.
