Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 61:1-2, King James Version
 

Rock higher than I,
to you the Spirit leads me
in my hour of need.

    Welcome to Psalm Challenge.

    How would it be to have the whole Bible in haiku?

      You know, Dina, I have seriously considered starting a blog devoted strictly to haiku inspired by Scripture.

    This is my favorite of your shadow photos this time – and I really like the haiku and the scripture you shared.
