Wonders in the Deep


Word of Wonder:

"They have seen the works of the Lord,
and His wonders in the deep.
For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
Which lifted up the waves of the sea.
They rose up to the heavens,
they went down to the depths;
Their soul melted away in their misery.
they reeled and staggered like a drunken man,
And were at their wits' end.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses.
He caused the storm to be still,
So that the waves of the sea were hushed.
Then they were glad because they were quiet,
So He guided them to their desired haven.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for his wonders to the sons of men!"
(Psalm 107:24-31)

O God!
We go down to the depths.
Our souls melt away in our misery.
We reel and we stagger.
We are at our wits' end.
We cry out to You in our trouble!
And You, dear Lord,
bring us out of our distresses,
cause the storm to be still,
hush the waves,
and guide us to our desired haven.

We give thanks to You, O God,
for Your lovingkindness
and Your wonders to us!

Thank You, God, for these wonders of your love:
