PSALM 86 PRESERVE MY LIFE LORD
Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my life, for I am godly;
save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
3 Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.
4 Gladden the soul of your servant,
for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;
listen to my plea for grace.
7 In the day of my trouble I call upon you,
for you answer me.
8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like yours. – Psalm 86:1-8

PLEA FOR GRACE AND HELP by ILMA
O Lord, I come to you for help and provision
I am such a poor soul and a needy person
I trust you completely; save your servant
Without your grace I will not make it today.
Grant me peace to face all the troubles this day brings
Show me how to abound in the steadfast love you give
Listen to my pleas for I will not make it without you
Manifest your love so I can be transformed and renewed.
Remind me of your amazing grace and how your mercy abounds
You never fail to listen to those who call on you, my Lord!
I cry out to you as my needs are constantly hounding me
I plead you to help me when I am discouraged and weak.
