From the end of the earth will I cry unto Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Ps 61:2

God wants to lead you from survival to revival. God wants to draw you near to Him (Mt 23:37) even when you are scattered and afraid. He invites all to come unto Him, to know Him, and delight in His Presence, and He will give you rest (Mt 11:28). For those times when we seem to lose our way, grow impatient, bored, fatigued, and fainthearted from distress and disappointment, God wants to revive your heart and restore your faith in Him. The scripture passage reminds us to “cry unto Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed.” When your heart is faint and your strength has failed, “Cry unto the Lord” (Isa 19:20), for He will save and deliver you. Prayer opens the gates of heaven and God hears the cries of His children. Even with tear filled eyes and overwhelmed in affliction “cry unto Thee…then Thou wilt hear and help” (2 Chr 20:9). God diligently awaits to hear the cries of His children that we may know His faithfulness to “lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” My friend, God is faithful to hear the cries of His children, even when we have drifted, and He seems spread to “the end of the earth.” Look to Him and hear Him say, “Come unto Me all ye who labor and are heavy laden, I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28). He will give you rest from your fears, fatigue, and fainthearted distress to revive you by His Spirit with a renewed heart, a heart of faith, and not fear. He will walk along the way with you, to restore within you, a faith-heart, full of the joy of His salvation. Dear friend, look to the Lord and He will renew your strength and revive your heart. When you seem overwhelmed and fainthearted, trust in Him and He will cover you with His wing (Ps 61:4). He is nearer than you could ever think or imagine. Father thank You for Your love and Your faithfulness to hear me when I cry. In the blessed Name of Jesus. Amen.
