The cry 'be not far from me' echoes the opening — it feels as though God is far, but the psalmist immediately turns to ask God to draw near. This is the pattern of honest prayer: express the pain, then ask for God's presence.
Memory phrase: God, be near — I need You.
Talk about it: When have you felt like you had no one to help? Who can you always turn to?
Prayer: God, when I have no one else to help me, please be near. Don't let me face this alone.
