Turn to me, God, and have mercy on me
because I’m alone and suffering.

When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was there, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, show me mercy!”

PRAYER
Merciful Lord, I give thanks because you are my hope. My daily troubles can make me forget to turn to you. I think I am all alone. But you stop and turn to my cries. Heal the eyes of my heart to see that you are always here. Help me to bring your mercies to others today. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
