[Magdalen] Prayer request

[Susan Hagen]

Prayers for your friend Dan.

Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.

>From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.

I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

- Psalm of David, Psalms 61.1-4 -
