“The Lord bends to my voice
whenever I call.”*
Be sure to call to the Lord today.
Pray away.
Compassionate and merciful God,
please hear and answer me
in your great wisdom.
Be gentle toward me.
I am in need
of your counsel and kindness.
I am in need of you.
Amen.
See Psalm 116:2.

Sometimes reading/hearing a familiar prayer
in another translation sparks new meanings.
Try the above or simply another bible translation.
