VERSE FOR REFLECTION- PSALM 61:1-4
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the end of the earth, I call to you, when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I; for you are my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. Let me abide in your tent forever, find refuge under the shelter of your wings.

P: Who does not come at our beck and call,
L: But who is always near.

L: In confident assurance that God is here.
P: Yes!! God is here!
