Psalm 6

O LORD,  do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.  Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint;  O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.  My soul is in anguish.  How long, O LORD, how long?  Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.  No one remembers you when he is dead.  Who praises you from the grave?  I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.  My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.  Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.  The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.  All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
NIV

Dear Lord, day after day life goes on and it is hard.
What I need is your staff that leads, not your rod that disciplines.
You know how many sleepless nights I've had, how I've cried myself to sleep other nights,
What good is that?  How does that benefit You or me?

The bills are piling up Lord, I don't enjoy my work,
and it feels like those I work with don't care about me.
I'm trying so hard but I'm not getting paid any more for what I do.
Still I'm glad Lord, that You've heard my prayer, my calling out to you.
Because of You everything will be alright.
Thank You for the strength to carry on.
Amen
