Lord, Please Come and Sit Beside Me

Lord, help me.
Being in this place scares me.
None of us want to be here sick,
But we are.

Oh, how I would love everything to be the way it was.
How I want everything to be alright.
It would be so good if I could just go home –
But I can’t. I am here and I am scared.

Lord, I believe that You are a good God.
I believe that You want what is best. Always.
I want to trust You. I want to believe in You.
Help me, Lord, to be still and wait for You.

Please, Lord, come and sit beside me.
Hold me up, Lord, because I cannot stand this by myself.
David in the Psalms said that when he was afraid he would trust in you.
What else can I do here . . . now?

I am afraid.
But I will trust you. I will be quiet and trust you.
