Take Time to Pray
Psalm 57:1-3
1 Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for in You my soul takes refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of Your wings
until disaster has passed.
2 I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills His purpose for me
3 He sends from Heaven and saves me,
Rebuking those who hotly pursue me;
God sends His love and His faithfulness.
