Psalm 61:1-2
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.The beginning of a new school year brings a mix of emotions. It’s exciting to start fresh, but it can also feel overwhelming. The words “lead me to the rock that is higher than I” are a constant source of comfort for me. David, the Psalmist who wrote these words, understood that God’s ways are higher than ours. He is our rock in every situation.
If you’re feeling anxious or uncertain, remember that your Heavenly Father is always near, ready to help. We may not always understand His ways, but we can trust Him completely—and what a comfort that is!
PrayerThank you Lord for being our rock in all situations. Let us draw near to your strength when we are feeling overwhelmed. Bring comfort to your servants today. May we serve you this school year with the assurance of knowing you are in control.
