Awesome! Now don't use that word lightly. This picture of crying out to God from the end of the earth when my heart is faint.

I am guessing some, maybe many people who are listening to this right now, have faint hearts.

Has anybody weary, tired, discouraged, and don't want to be depressing, but I do want to be real?

Many of us, I can include myself in this feel faint.

So to cry out to God and listen to the prayer from a faint heart, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Oh God, take me up, hold me up, to stand on high, to a rock that is higher than I am for you have been my refuge.

You see that imagery over and over again in the Psalms. God is a refuge around us.

And then, in the verse 3, a strong tower against the enemy.

On a picture, just imagine a strong tower that protects and guards you like a fortress.

This is God for you and it's whatever you're walking through right now and especially when your heart is faint.

Cry out to God and know that He hears you and He will lead you to a rock, to a secure, safe foundation to stand on with God as your refuge and your strong tower against the enemy, against the adversary who wants to destroy you, who wants to discourage you, who wants to bring you down when you are faint.

Oh God, here are cries. We're going to pray exactly what your Holy Spirit has inspired in your word to pray.

Here are cry. Oh God, listen to our prayers from the ends of the earth, even from all the places where we are right now as we're praying together.

We call to you from faint hearts. God, we just confess. I confess, we confess that our hearts are often faint, weary, discouraged.

And all kinds of different ways for all kinds of different reasons that you know, oh God, you are familiar with all the circumstances we're walking through, the situations we're facing, all the reasons why our hearts are faint.

And so we pray, lead us to the rock that is higher than we are.

Help us to stand, oh God, at a high place where we can see with your perspective and trust and your promises to provide for all we need.

Trust in your purposes that you are accomplishing in all the circumstances and situations we're walking through for you are our refuge.

God, we praise you as our refuge and the strong tower you are against our enemy.

We rest today, even right now in this moment, secure in you.

And God, we pray for people who don't know this security, who don't know you as the strong tower in the refuge and the rock as the one who hears our cries.
