"Hear my cry, O God;
Listen to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I call to you,
When my heart is faint." (Ps 61:1)
Sometimes "the end of the earth" might be Friday Fatigue which leaves the soul empty and prayer not flowing easily, or at all. Sometimes it might be an overload of distractions which are the result of an full agenda, anxiety about a difficult situation or up-coming confrontation, or some physical or emotional pain. Life is full of bumps and these, rather than being impediments to prayer, can become reasons to pray more. Prayer in these times most likely will not have the fervor of consolation when all is going well, but will be the dry prayer of faith and trust. In any case, they are occasions which make the above little verse the perfect prayer which acknowledges our situation, our need for and trust in God. May we commit it to heart and pray it often and find life when we are faint.
