The Psalmist's remedy for despair is to invite us to direct our gaze to the highest authority, before whom we intercede- putting our total hope in the One who hears the cries of the oppressed, the groans of prisoners, and intervenes to bring liberation.

"When You’ve Had Enough… Keep Your Eyes on Heaven"
Lift your eyes when the world looks down on you. Psalm 123 reminds us: God sees, God hears, and God responds with mercy.
🙏 Drop a “👀” if you’re waiting on His hand.

To you I lift up my eyes
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy,
for we have had more than enough of contempt,
Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich,
and of the derision of the proud.

A picture of a journal. Brown kraft paper on the left, blue dot grid paper on the right. On the left is a acrylic gouache painting of a dirt road approaching a cattle gate with summery greens and small flowers and large trees in the distance. The word "prayer" is spelled out in washi tape and Psalm 123 from NIV bible is written out. 1 I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven. 2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy. 3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt. 4 We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
