words for the end of a day...

As I come to the end of a day...
feeling... tired...
words from a morning's devotional come to mind...

"Help, Lord." --- Psalm 12:1

David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication; when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his own weakness, or he would not have cried for help; but at the same time he intended honestly to exert himself for the cause of the truth, for the word "help" is inapplicable where we ourselves do nothing.

---Oswald Chambers, Morning and Evening

I mourn... at the fewness of strength...
cry... Help... Lord...
and exert myself...
to complete the final chores of the day...

In the spiritual realm...
the making of dinner...
the cleaning of a kitchen...
can be a battle field...

I choose to serve... my family...
but I know... I need His help...

So my words for the end of the day...?

Help... Lord...

For I can do everything through Christ,

who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:13 NLT
