“Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’ “

Dear Lord,
Not only am I groaning, but I am sobbing, Lord. Help me. I am glad that I am feeling uncomfortable emotions. I am glad that I am not stuffing them anymore. But it’s so painful. I am grieving and I am hurting. Please save me from these feelings. There’s no one else who can fix this but You. Comfort me. Dry my tears. You were there for Job. Please be there for me. I turn to You, my Comforter. Please hold me. Please help me to remember to breathe. I know that You are sovereign over all. Help me to form the words, “Not my will, but Yours, O Lord.” Help me to trust You no matter what happens.
