Psalms 38 - God Knows Me

3 No healthy spot is left on my body
because of your rage.
There is no peace in my bones
because of my sin.
Psalms 38:3 (GW)

8 I am numb and completely devastated.
I roar because my heart's in turmoil.
9 You know all my desires, O Lord,
and my groaning has not been hidden from you.
Psalms 38:8-9 (GW)

11 My loved ones and my friends keep their distance
and my relatives stand far away because of my sickness.
Psalms 38:11 (GW)

18 I confess my guilt.
My sin troubles me.
Psalms 38:18 (GW)

21 Do not abandon me, O Lord.
O my God, do not be so distant from me.
22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord, my savior.
Psalms 38:21-22 (GW)

Reflection of B:

During my deepest sorrows in the past I prayed the same prayers as King David did in the above verses. When I tried to do things my way, it it a disobedience and sinning against God. Sins always bring sorrows and they trouble our heart until we confess them and repent by obeying God. Yes, it's so true. I had no peace till I surrendered all my heart's desires to God and accepted His way.


Dear Lord,
Thank You for hearing my prayers and giving me strength to walk in Your path of righteousness. Thank You for not abandoning me when others did... even people whom I loved. Thank You, Abba Father.
Amen.
