Hi!
Bible in a Year:
I am worn out from my groaning.
The psalmists would have agreed. Their songs and prayers provide us with honest reflections on life and its inevitable pain. They touch us in places we find difficult to access. For example, in Psalm 6:6 David cries out, “I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.”
The fact that such raw honesty is included in the inspired songs of the Scriptures gives us great encouragement. It invites us to bring our fears to God, who welcomes us into His presence for comfort and help. He embraces us in our heartfelt honesty.
Music can give us the ability to express our feelings when words are hard to come by, but whether that expression is sung, prayed, or silently cried, our God reaches into the deepest places in our hearts and gives us His peace. Reflect & Pray
How would you characterize your prayer life? How does it make you feel to realize that God Himself allows you to come into His presence just as you are?
Thank You, loving God, for welcoming me with all my pain, fear, struggle, and disappointment. Thank You that You don’t want “correct” or “sanitized” prayers, but my honest heart instead.
Good evening, Pro...gotta finish up at work. I’ll ping and be back as soon as I can.
Hi and thank-you for all that you do Kathy!
I cannot hear “Born Free” without gun shots since Rush’s animal rights update theme.
Still at work...back shortly.
