LentDay 19

Pain and guilt together

Week 3 · Wednesday · Psalm 38: Do Not Forsake Me

For today

This psalm is heavy with pain and guilt together. Not every suffering is caused by sin, but when conscience and body ache at once, this is a prayer that knows how to say so.

Begin with these verses

O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.
Psalm 38:9BSB
verse 21Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God. verse 22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
Psalm 38:21–22BSB
Read all of Psalm 38Pray it back to Him
