Meet Me in Anguish
There will be hard things in your life. Jesus promised there would be. Who do we turn to when we have no more strength to face life’s challenges?
O Lord, help me again! Keep showing me such mercy. For I am in anguish, always in tears, and I’m worn out with weeping. I’m becoming old because of grief; my health is broken. I’m exhausted! My life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing and sadness. Because of all these troubles, I have no more strength. My inner being is so weak and frail. My enemies say, “You are nothing!” Even my friends and neighbors hold me in contempt! They dread seeing me, and they look the other way when I pass by. I am totally forgotten, buried away like a dead man, discarded like a broken dish thrown in the trash. I overheard their whispered threats, the slander of my enemies. I’m terrified as they plot and scheme to take my life.
We also read Psalm 31:1-8 in the beginning of this week’s meditation.
Blessing you to invite God into the hard spaces of your life. He will never leave you or forsake you.
May you come into a greater revelation of expressing your sorrow to the Lord, processing with Him.
