God,

I need some outside help today

I want so much to be free, but I don't feel free

I know it all in my head that your life is living in me, and that my life is a miracle,

But in my heart it seems as if life is pressing in on me, and squeezing me, until I feel empty and limp.

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He
lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a
rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
Psalm 40:2
