A Stormy Weather Prayer

Psalm 55:5-6, “Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.”
This psalm was written during stormy weather, not a thunderstorm or a hailstorm, but a people storm. Those are often the worst kind. The Lord’s servants sometimes get weary, not necessarily weary of the work, just weary in the work. David’s heart was broken. His spirit beaten down and his energy level was not what it used to be. He wanted to escape, but no matter where we run, we are still there. When an overwhelming storm hits, don’t run to the hills. Instead, fall on your knees. Trust God. He is faithful to hear, save, and deliver you (Psalm 55:16-18).
