Life feels upside down
Angry with fists clenched
Barking back at God
You have forsaken me
Please, please my Lord
Don’t push me away
Heart fills with courage
Waiting for my God
Look around to witness
Patience comes to many
Those immersed in faith
Righteous saints never forsaken
God asks for perseverance
More to one’s life
Than just plain enduring
Bring me staying power
God is my stronghold
In times of distress
For those seeking him
God will never forsake
God always walks ahead
He was with Moses
He’ll be with you
Never to forsake you
Ask for God’s protection
Through faithful, fervent prayer
God’s justice will return
Never, ever be forsaken
Open hands, open arms
Looking up toward God
Submitting to my Lord
Never to be forsaken

I like that your visual goes from fists clenched in a demanding posture to open hands in a posture of submission to God. Isn’t that the way most of us react when things go badly? I have tried as I age just to skip the clenched fist phase and go right to the submission part because that’s where my peace and the answer lies.
