“Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.” – Psalm 61:1-3 . “The waters are raging and the winds are blowing but I have no fear for I stand firmly upon a rock.
