Prayer from Psalm 6: A Confession

Thursday, March 11th, 2010
This entry is part 6 of 9 in the series Prayers from the Psalms

tearsLORD, something is wrong.  I am wrong.  What I’ve done is wrong.  So wrong my soul hurts.  So wrong my bones ache. 

During the night I sleep on a bed of bawling.  During the day I sit on a couch of crying. 

But you have heard my weeping.  You have heard my tears. 

You accept my prayer. 

You accept me.

Prayer from Psalm 129: Down and Out

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

cryingLORD, I’ve had it tough since the day I was born.  My earliest memories include painful people and faithless foes.

And right now, I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck.  The thoughtless words of selfish people have hit me like a ton of bricks.

I wish, LORD, that they’d blow out of this town with the next windstorm.   I wish, LORD, that you’d treat them the way they treated me.

Prayer from Psalm 85: Restoration and Revival

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

sadLORD, we are filled with iniquity.  We have failed.

But please don’t fail us. 

You have every right to be wrathful, bitter, and angry.

Instead, LORD, restore us.  Revive us.  Show us your steadfast love.
