Lead Me to the Rock
“From the end of the earth, I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
- Psalm 61:2
David wrote Psalm 61 while he was far from home and far from comfort and most likely running from his son Absalom who sought to take his life. David had been here before; running away from a hunter, wandering in the wilderness alone, calling to God for help in his moments of weakness.
David was not a defenseless man. He was a king with an army. He was an experienced fighter who had killed lions and giants and conquered his enemies. David had power in his own hands, but even this king knew that he required the true King’s help when he was in need.
How do you respond when you find yourself in danger, in anguish, or in need of help? For years I struggled with depression and anxiety. I couldn’t make it through a day without hours of sleep or hiding away from my family when I returned home. I turned to my own power, trying to protect and rescue myself. It was not until I surrendered and cried out to the “rock that is higher than I” that I found help and healing. God used those around me to come to my aid and provided tools to help in my recovery. That was all the work of God alone, not anything I could have done on my own.
What weighs on your heart in this season? How might you be trying to be your own refuge when God is a strong tower ready to defend you? Would you allow Him to provide refuge for you under His wings and lead you to safety?

Jesus, you are my rock and my salvation! I give my troubles to you and trust you with my heart. Please protect me from harm and comfort me in hard times. Amen.
