Psalm 61 || David Tarkington (June 5, 2022)

John Mayer has many good songs, but there’s one that came to mind as I read this psalm. It’s titled “Stop This Train” and the lyrics speak of challenge of … well … living. Life goes on. Seemingly out of control. Decisions are made by other people that impact many. Good is nice, but bad seems to be bigger. And memories of days gone by become treasures, but seemingly treasures that can get lost in the shuffle of busyness. David writes Psalm 61 with a similar theme to Mayer's song. Sometimes we face similar overwhelming thoughts and cry out to God, "Help me!" The promise is that he listens and he helps. Pastor Tarkington seeks to encourage us all with God's words through David in this psalm.
