Even When I am Overwhelmed (Psalm 69) Myles Holmes | July 27, 2025

Hello and welcome to the Redemption Church Podcast.

We're a church in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada that exists to glorify God through the fulfillment of the Great Commission and the spirit of the Great Commandment.

Thanks for joining us today.

The waters haven't taken him out completely.

You get the picture here, it's up to his neck, but he's looking around and he can't really see how these waters won't come over his head.

Psalm 69 is a cry of panic.

It is the prayer of someone who has hit the edge that if things don't change and God doesn't show up, David here is going under.

And maybe that's where some of you are this morning.

I mean, you're not gone, of course not.

You're here this morning.

I mean, each of us can pat ourselves on the back.

We got dressed this morning.

We showed up.

You are in the seat.

Maybe it was like even a really good morning, and you smiled and waved at someone in the parking lot.

Your presence here this morning is proof that life hasn't completely overwhelmed you.

But maybe on the inside you're here like David and you're saying the waters are up to my neck.

I mean, I walked out into this, out of my car, into this place like everything was fine.

I acted as though, you know, on the way to church, I was singing four-part harmonies to worship songs, like everything was okay.

But inside I'm crying out.

Deep down, I'm holding on by a thread.

And maybe honestly, if we were honest this morning, some of us are like a coffee away from just lashing out at the person behind you right now because they're breathing too loud or something.

And the mic wasn't on, so it wasn't loud enough, so you could really hear him sucking on that mint, and you're, you know.

You feel the waters rising.

You can't see a way out.

You're you're tired of trying to keep it together.

And what David gives us permission to do, these are the holy pages of scripture, is to take a breath and stop pretending like everything's okay.

And to cry out to God in the overwhelm of life.

Look at verse 2 with me.

I sink in deep mire where there is no foothold.

It is such a vivid picture of that terrifying moment where your reach, your foot reaches for something that is not there.

David's saying, I've tried to deal with the overwhelm.

I have reached my foot out for something to stand on in these waters, and I have found nothing has worked.

And can I suggest something, loved one?

Can I suggest that most of us stay in verse two?

Most of us see the overwhelm of life, and we keep trying to look for footholds to get out of it.

We feel the collision of too much and not enough.

You feel that ever in your life?

Too much to carry, but not enough strength to carry it.

Of too much responsibilities, but not enough peace to be actually able to fulfill them.

We feel the weight of responsibility.

You feel it at work, you feel it in your marriage, you feel it in your family, you feel it at church, all these responsibilities calling you to be something, but you're living with this constant ache that no matter how hard you try, you just cannot do enough.

That the things you are doing, you're not doing well enough.

And that in your mind there are all these things that you are not doing that you know you should be doing.

You understand?

I mean, do you feel what David is feeling here?

He's trying to fix it.

We're trying to manage it.

We tell ourselves, I'll just have a better plan this week, just a little more discipline.

Just give me a few more weeks and I'll be okay.

And this is where most of us get stuck in sort of this cycle, this washing machine of thinking we can find a foothold.

So, like David, before we cry out what he says in verse one, before we say, Save me, O God, we are reaching for footholds.

Let's just let's get really practical for a moment.

Let's think about different kinds of footholds we might reach for.

I thought of seven.

We'll go through them really quickly.

All of these footholds that we use to try to manage the overwhelm, to try to get our head above water, but that don't really work in the long run.

First, we might try to control it.

Think if we can just plan better, if we can just schedule tighter, cut out the margin in life, then we'll fix the problem, then we'll be okay.

Second, we might try to numb it.

Life is overwhelming, but as long as we have a moment to scroll, as long as we have a moment to binge, as long as we have a moment to watch something, to sleep, anything to avoid the feeling, then we'll be okay.

Third, we might outrun it.

You just try to stay busy.

You just try to push harder.

You don't slow down long enough to feel the overwhelm.

You just keep on going and going and going.

Fourth, you might just deny it.

It's not really that bad.

It's just a season.

Everything's fine, everything's okay.

Fifth, we blame it.

I think if they would change, if the circumstance was different, then I'd be okay.

Sixth, we spiritualize it.

We get legalistic.

We think if I pray harder, if I read more, if I serve more, then I'll be able to deal with this.

Seventh, and maybe this is where most of us are, we we just quit.

We emotionally check out.

Stop showing up.

We stop doing the things that we're supposed to.

We start saying no to really good things so that we can keep our schedule clear and avoid overwhelm at all costs.

Here's the problem, loved one.

None of these things actually save us.

These things may delay the feeling of drowning, they may make us feel like we have a sense of control and the overwhelm, but they don't deal with the flood of not having enough to do all that is demanded of you in life.

Now notice verse 3.

Notice where David gets to in verse 3.

Put your eyes on the text with me.

He says, I am weary with crying out.

My throat is parched, my eyes grow dim with waiting for God.

David has already been crying out to God.

Before he says in verse 1, Save me, O God, he's his throat is parched with crying out.

He's he's waited and waited and waited for God to deliver him from the flood.

In other words, what happens in verse 1 when David says, Save me, O God, it's not his first prayer.

But it is massively different.

There is a massive difference that comes out in verse 1 when you compare it to verse 3.

In verse 3, David is crying for deliverance.

He's saying, God, get me out of this.

How many of your prayers are like that?

How many of your prayers are about God delivering you from what's uncomfortable in your life?

Notice in verse 1, he doesn't cry for deliverance, he cries in surrender.

God, save me.

God, you are my only hope.

This will be the turning point for us.

Loved one, you will not cry out to God if you believe that there are other footholds in life.

It's not until the foundation of those footholds are pulled out from beneath you that in desperation you will be done with backup plans and look to God and cry out, God, only you can deliver.

David's done with backup plans.

In Psalm 69, David's no longer saying, you know, God, throw me something to stand on.

Help me to get out of this.

David is saying, God, if you don't save me, I'm done.

David cries out, and in the moment he cries out in desperation, God hears him.

Do you have that kind of desperation in your life?

Do you know it now?

Do you know that that sense of desperation?

That sense of like, there is nothing else, God.

As long as you stay in verse 2, reaching for other footholds to deliver you from the overwhelm.

I want you to know you will never see God as David sees him.

But when you are in a place where all you can do is cry out, God, save me, then you will see his power.

I love what Oswald Chambers says.

Look at this quote, it's gonna come up on the screen.

He says, complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest his power.

And if that's true, and it is, it changes everything about the overwhelm that we are experiencing in life, doesn't it?

It means that the overwhelm that we actually constantly try to escape, the overwhelm that we beg God to remove, it might be the very place where God wants to meet you in life.

You know that, loved one?

I mean, there is a reason why the sovereign God has not taken that thorn out of your flesh.

It's because he meets you in weakness.

It's because overwhelm is not the enemy of faith.

You know what the enemy of faith is?

Independence.

It's independence that drives you away from God.

It's believing in your heart of hearts that you can do life apart from him.

That means that overwhelm might be the best thing for you.

Because it finally pushes you out of this self-sufficiency into a heart of surrender.

And as strange as it sounds, what David offers us this morning is that by the end of the psalm, he is able to look at the overwhelm in his life, to look at the floods of water that are up to his neck, and he's able to say this, it was a mercy.

Not because it's good, not because he loves what's happening in his life.

We're gonna see that in a moment.

But it's because it points his eyes to the one who is greater, who is glorious.

It's only when all the other footholds fall away that you'll be able to say, God, you are my only hope, and that is enough.

God, you are all that I have, and that is enough.

So, loved one, don't waste the overwhelm.

Don't run from it.

Press into it.

Let it drive you to cry out, to make you desperate enough that you become dependent on God.

Independence makes you weak.

Dependence makes you strong.

This leads to our the second way that faith carries us through the overwhelm.

And David's teaching us this morning that faith holds on when we believe he sees.

Faith holds on when we believe he sees.

Even in the overwhelm, faith reminds us of this reality.

That God sees us.

This is what David shows us next.

What we're gonna see in verses 4 to 12 is that David has every reason to feel ashamed.

He has been abandoned, he has been rejected, he has been totally misunderstood, and yet in all of this pain, he knows that he's fully known by God.

He is fully seen by God, that God is not looking at you while you are drowning in the responsibilities of your life and being indifferent to that, that his ear actually bends and that his eyes look for the one who is weak and needy.

In verses 4 to 12, David gives us a window into why we get so overwhelmed.

And it's not just external pressure.

You're not overwhelmed just because you have a long to-do list.

You're overwhelmed because of the internal weight of the shame that comes from not accomplishing the things on your to-do list.

You understand?

I mean to say this: you could fill your to-do list up with things that would not be overwhelming to you at all, right?

Can you think about them?

Like, I could certainly do with a lot more golf in my life.

Amen.

Anyone with me?

Like, we could do with I mean, but as I think about it, the way that I've golfed this season, it actually would be really overwhelming.

You get what I'm saying, though.

There are things you can put on your to-do list that are not overwhelming at all.

The problem is not the number of things that you have.

The problem is that everything on your to-do list feels like it's a test of your worth.

It's not just that you need to make dinner.

It's that shame whispers in your ear that a good mom has dinner ready.

It's not just that you have a deadline.

It's that shame whispers in your ear, if you miss that deadline, you are falling and behind.

It's not just that you're tired.

It's that shame whispers that real Christians don't get tired.

That's what makes it overwhelming.

It's not just what you do, it's shame whispering in that moment.

If you were better, if you were stronger, you could deal with this.

And if anyone has something to teach us about shame, it is David.

I mean, you read through this psalm and you recognize David hasn't just had a bad day at work, right?

David has lived a horrible life.

He's had enemies trying to kill him, who are mocking him.

His family is disowning him.

There are even in verse 12, there are drunkards making songs about him.

I haven't heard what songs drunk people are singing lately, but I don't think I'm in them.

David is overwhelmed, but he's not being dramatic.

This is not just like, you know, I got a full email inbox kind of stress.

This is like at this very moment someone's trying to kill me.

Overwhelmed.

Look at verse 4.

More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause.

He is surrounded by enemies, and he's hated unfairly.

He is accused of things without reason, and his life is isolated, and if there are people in it, those people are pointing their fingers at him and humiliating him.

Verse 7 he goes on, it is for your sake, God, that I've become a reproach.

The dishonor has covered my face.

He's not just suffering for doing wrong, he's suffering for doing right.

And it's not just the hardship, it's not just that things are hard in his life, it's the reproach he feels, it's the dishonor he feels.

David is describing the feeling of shame.

Verse 8, the pain gets deeper.

He says, I've become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's sons.

Even his own family is treating him like they're like he doesn't belong.

There's no refuge everywhere he looks, he is rejected.

You see it in verses 9 and 11 to 12.

The mockery is constant, the shame is public, he's being laughed at in the streets.

Put it all together, David is hated by his enemies, he's estranged by his family, and he is mocked by the community.

Even his faithfulness is being used against him.

I want you to notice, though, in Psalm 69, that David's not overwhelmed because he has a lot going on.

What makes the overwhelm painful is the shame that David feels in the midst of it.

And I want to suggest this to you that what truly makes life overwhelming is shame.

Have you thought about that before?

Shame is that haunting sense that something is fundamentally wrong with you.

It's different from guilt.

Guilt says I've done something wrong.

Shame says I am something wrong.

That something is wrong with me.

And when life gets busy and stressful, shame multiplies the weight of what you're carrying so that it would not be that difficult if we did not have shame constantly whispering in our ear that we are the problem, that the reason why we're overwhelmed is because we are not good enough.

I mean, as you parent, shame whispers in your ear that you are a bad parent because your kids are struggling.

That you're a bad spouse because your marriage is hard, that you're a bad Christian because you're anxious again, that you're a bad leader because you can't keep up, that you're a bad friend because you don't have the energy.

Shame whispers this into our ear, and so then what does that cause us to do?

It causes us to get to work.

We try harder, we try to be a good friend, we try to be a good parent, we try to be a good spouse, we try to be a good Christian, a good leader, a good friend.

But it doesn't work.

Dealing with shame like that is like trying to take a beach ball and holding it underwater and pushing it deeper and deeper.

And you know, if you've ever done that, the harder you push it down, the harder it pushes up.

And that is overwhelming your life.

That's what overwhelm is.

It's when shame, you're trying to push it down, and the overwhelm is like, I can't keep this down anymore.

If things don't change, I am going to be revealed for who I am, and I'm not enough.

David is looking at us this morning and asking us, how do we deal with shame?

Lord, how do you deal with it?

What is the answer to shame?

What's the cure?

You know, my kids for the last year and a half have been obsessed with Lion King.

And I have done everything to not illustrate Lion King every sermon.

So you need to thank me.

Because I've had Hakuna Matata stuck in my head for the about the last 70 sermons I've preached, okay?

And so I've I've spared you from that pain.

But this morning I think there's something in Lion King that illustrates this so well, and so I'm gonna reach back to a 30-year-old illustration here, and you can blame my kids after.

They are holding two Simba stuffies right now, so you will find them easily.

There's a moment in Lion King where Mufasa dies.

Sorry, that's a spoiler alert.

If you haven't seen it by now, then I'm sorry.

Simba runs away.

Now, when Simba runs away, he's not just running from home.

Simba's running away from this new identity he feels like he's received because Mufasa has died.

He thinks that he's to blame for Mufasa's death.

Therefore, he cannot be accepted in the pride lands, and he cannot embrace his calling to become king in light of Mufasa's death.

So, what does Simba do?

Well, he runs to the jungle, he embraces this akuna matata mentality.

I'm sorry, the song is now stuck in your head.

And I asked Joel if we could close on that after the song after, and he shut it down.

Simba hides.

In the jungle, he avoids pain.

He avoids his calling to be a king, he avoids being seen.

But a turning point comes when Rafiki meets Simba and brings him into the water.

And when Simba looks in the water, what does he see?

He sees the reflection of his father.

He sees that his identity, though he believes it's different, actually hasn't changed.

And when Mufasa speaks to Simba, he says to him, You have forgotten who you are.

And there's this beautiful phrase, and it's the reason why we love Lion King, because there's such mercy in this phrase where Mufasa says to his son, You are more than what you have become.

You are more than what you have become.

Simba finds healing in being told this message that what has happened and what might happen can never change who he is.

And it is not until he believes that message that he can truly embrace his identity.

And truly deal with the overwhelming things that have happened in his life.

And loved one, I want you to understand that the reason why our heart resonates with that story is because our heart longs for a God who is like that.

And that is who God is like.

He doesn't say you're disqualified.

He says, I see you, I know you, and I still love you.

You see it in verse 5?

Look at verse 5.

Oh God, you know my folly.

The wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.

Look at verse 19.

Verse 19, he says, You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor.

My foes are all known to you.

David is overwhelmed, he's ashamed, but he does not have to hide it because God sees it all and still invites him in.

He doesn't have to pretend like the shame's not there.

He doesn't have to clean himself up first.

And love one, I want you to know that this is the answer to overwhelm.

To know that before you fail, God's mercy is already deeper than your failure could ever be.

And that kind of security can only be found in the gospel.

I love what Tim Keller says.

Look what Tim Keller says.

To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial.

To be known and not loved is our greatest fear.

But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.

Do you know you're loved like that?

The gospel gives you permission to face the greatest challenges in your life with a rock solid confidence that no matter the outcome, his mercy will always be deeper than your failure.

That's powerful when you start to embrace that in your life, because when you know God sees you fully, you stop running from overwhelm and you start realizing that in the overwhelm, God is with you.

You don't just believe he sees, you don't just believe he hears.

You start to experience what David shows us next: that God comes near.

That's the third thing I want you to see: that faith carries us when we believe He comes.

That even in the overwhelm, Jesus comes.

It's in the text, look at verse 13, after pouring out his desperation and shame, David moves here.

There's a transition from distress to crying out to God and turning to him.

Look at verse 13.

But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord.

At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me in your saving faithfulness.

David doesn't say, but as for me, I fixed it.

That's what every influencer on YouTube says.

Listen, I fixed overwhelm.

David with honesty doesn't say, but as for me, I found another foothold.

David says, but as for me, my prayer is to you.

His desperation and the things that are overwhelming him in life is driving him deeper and deeper into communion.

This is so crucial for us.

That when life gets stressful, when life gets overwhelming, the best place to be is not in the place where you're saying, God, fix the situation.

You know, we can do that with some real Christian ease, can't we?

God, I know you're powerful, I know you're sovereign, and so just deliver me from this thing that really sucks in life.

Notice how David prays.

He's asking God to come near in the pain, in the abundance of your steadfast love, David says, in your saving faithfulness.

He's rooting his cry in the character of God.

He's reminding himself of who God is and asking God, in the midst of this overwhelming flood, God, be that for me.

So that in verse 14, God is a deliverer.

In verse 15, God is sovereign over the waters.

In verse 16, David is reminding himself God is steadfast in love, abundant in mercy.

In verses 17 and 18, David is reminding himself God is a God who draws near.

And David is teaching us something so practical about the kind of request we bring to God.

David doesn't say, just fix the circumstances.

David says, Don't hide from me.

Don't hide from me.

And what David has come to understand is that the greatest fear he has in life.

More fearful than the pain of life, more fearful than the overwhelm of life is the absence of God in life.

In other words, the real danger isn't the waters rising up to his neck.

The real danger is that he would live a life in which God is silent and far from him.

And here's the question that forces a moment of clarity that can only come by the Holy Spirit for us this morning.

Would you rather have a life that is easy and without God?

Or have a life that is difficult where God is near to you?

I mean, really think about that in a moment of clarity.

Would you rather an easy life where you walk without God because you just don't need him?

Or would you rather a difficult life where all you can do is draw near to God, and because you do that, he draws near to you.

Listen, if nearness to God is life's greatest gift, then hard things in life is a sacred advantage to you.

That's the reality of the gift of being overwhelmed.

It reveals what you actually want from God.

Do you actually want to be near God, or are you just using God for Him to make things easier?

I love what Spurgeon once famously said.

He said these words, I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the rock of ages.

Such a strange image, isn't it?

To kiss the wave, not to curse it, not to run from it, but to welcome the very thing that threatens to drown you because it is the thing that drives you to Jesus.

This is what David is doing here.

He's not asking for the waves to stop.

He is asking to meet God in the middle of them.

Loved one, do you have a faith that kisses the wave?

Do you have a faith that says, Lord, I still trust you when you wake up at 3 a.m.

in the morning and your mind is racing with anxious thoughts?

Do you have a faith that walks into another difficult day believing that God is in the midst of it?

Do you have a faith that says the hard things that happen in life have been planned by a sovereign God who has allowed them to happen?

David's asking us to step back and ask how we know God draws near to us in the overwhelm.

How do we know it?

And loved one, with a New Testament perspective, we look back on this psalm with such clarity.

Because the way we know that God hears us, that God sees us, that God comes near is because he did.

Jesus came to this world.

You see, Psalm 69 is not just David's song, it is Jesus' story.

In fact, Psalm 69 is one of the Psalms that is quoted the most in the New Testament.

When the psalmist writes, Zeal for your house will consume me.

In John 2, John tells us that this verse is fulfilled when Jesus clears the temple.

In Romans 15, Paul quotes Psalm 69 saying, The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me to show us that Jesus bore the insults that we deserved.

Matthew 27, Matthew says this, they gave me gale for food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Matthew tells us that's exactly what they offered Jesus as he hung on the cross.

Do you see what's happened?

Jesus is the one who entered the overwhelm for you.

Jesus is the one who, unlike David, when he called out to God and asked God to deliver him from the flood, instead of being delivered, Jesus' head went under the waters.

He was overwhelmed with sorrow in the garden.

He was betrayed by his friends.

He was mocked publicly.

He was hated without cause.

He cried out, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

And at the end of that question, there was silence, and he faced that silence so that when you cry out, you don't need to face it yourself.

Jesus was the one who sank all the way under the waters, who allowed life to overwhelm him in death, so that in your overwhelm, you would have a rock that you could stand on that is Jesus Christ.

Loved one, that's the gospel that Jesus already took the ultimate overwhelm.

He took the weight of sin, shame, and judgment on his shoulders so that you would no longer have to bear it, so that you could walk in perfect relationship with God, being fully heard, fully seen, and fully known.

This is how we know that God hears us, that he sees us, that he comes to us because Jesus has.

Which leads to our final point.

Faith believes he's worthy.

Faith believes he's worthy.

And in verses 22 to 28, David takes a jarring turn, and I'm sure even as we read that you noticed it.

He starts praying for justice, for his enemies to fall, for the proud to be humbled, for those who are scorned, who scorned him to face God's wrath.

These are imprecatory verses, part of what is known as the imprecatory Psalms, where God's people pray for God's judgment to fall on their enemies, and they are intense and all over the Psalms.

But I don't want you to miss what's happening in David's heart here.

David is not just trusting God with his pain.

David is trusting God with justice here.

David is unwilling now.

Faith has so worked in him, he's unwilling to take matters into his own hands.

He has now put them in God's hand.

And this is actually an act of worship because to hand something over to God instead of getting even with your enemies is actually to trust that he will judge rightly.

We don't have many enemies in our day and age like the psalmists did.

It can be hard to relate to what David's talking about here, but we certainly have people who wound us.

You have people in your life who exclude you, who have gossiped about you, who have misrepresented you, who have made life harder than it needs to be.

And in that moment where you want to defend yourself, to prove yourself, or to punish them, faith asks something deeper.

Will you trust God with them?

You know, faith allows you to delete that response that you crafted for social media at 1 a.m.

It was the perfect response.

You ever written one of those?

Faith allows you to delete it.

Faith allows you to, instead of gossiping about that person, to lift them up in prayer.

Faith allows you, when you have an argument that will win the conversation, you know, that that argument you've crafted in your head, it's perfect and flawless and cannot, it has no ability to poke holes in it.

Faith allows you to walk away and to let it rest.

Because God will have ultimate vindication.

This is what faith does.

It worships in the overwhelm because it surrendered the outcome to God.

It said, God, you're in control here.

And it believes that God is worthy despite what's going on.

That's where David gets to.

You see it?

He says, God, I trust you to handle what I can't.

And so he hands over the shame, he hands over the injustice of what's happened, he enters into the flood willingly and says, God, you're in control.

I've surrendered the outcome to you.

And in light of that, he can now praise.

Look at verse 30.

I will praise the name of God with a song.

I will magnify him with thanksgiving.

This is a defiant worship, a worship that happens no matter what the outcome is.

A worship that happens even in the midst of pain.

This is what worship does.

Worship it locks our eyes on something that is bigger than the challenges we're facing.

It focuses on something that is deeper than the flood we are experiencing.

Worship sees the worth of God.

And because of that, God gets the glory.

You see that in verse 31?

This will please the Lord more than an ox or a bull with horns and hooves.

Worship in the midst of the overwhelm of life says to the world, God is better than deliverance.

I will sit in this overwhelm.

I will allow these things to happen to me.

Because if I have God with me, nothing can be better.

And in verses 32 to 36, David lifts his eyes even further.

His vision here is eschatological.

He sees that even if the waters don't part in this life, one day, just like we sang this morning, one day they will.

And because of that, we can worship even before deliverance comes.

Loved one, this is what faith does in the overwhelm.

It cries out because God hears.

It rests because God sees.

It turns to God because when you draw near to God, God draws near to you, He comes.

Faith rises up to sing a song in the midst of the overwhelm, to say that He's worthy, to say that even when the waters rise, we have a rock.

You know what the good news is?

You don't have to be crushed in the overwhelm.

You don't have to drown in it.

You can be carried by faith.

Because God sees, He hears, and He comes in the midst of all that is overwhelming in your life.

And because of that, He's worthy.

Could you pray with me?

Father, we thank you.

God, thank you for this truth, this answer that we find only in the pages of Scripture and can find nowhere else.

That Lord, you are worthy in the midst of all that we find overwhelming.

God, we pray for a faith that is strong enough to trust you, Lord, when our prayers for deliverance are unanswered in this life.

And to depend on you, God, when we feel that we have no strength.

Lord, a faith that even takes the things that are happening in our life right now, things that only you are aware of.

Lord, faith that takes those things and turns them into a beautiful song of praise.

That cries out, Lord, you will always carry me.

It reaches for you in faith and says, Lord, I am strong because I have a strong deliverer and a strong redeemer.

God, we thank you for who you are.

And we respond to you now in song, saying, Lord, that faith will carry us, that you will deliver us.

Maybe not in this life, maybe life will always be overwhelming, but there is a day coming, God, where you will deliver us fully and finally.

We long for that day, and we pray for faith until it comes.

I pray that's in the name of your son.

Amen.

Would you stand and worship with me?
