Psalm 31:9–16
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye wastes away from grief, my soul and body also.
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.
I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbors, an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.
I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.
For I hear the whispering of many— terror all around!— as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.
But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.”
My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.
Reflection
Dear Lord, I can't take this pain anymore.
A pain so deep in my soul I cry out.
Lord; this pain in my body is too much for me.
It seems as if my life has changed into nothing but this!
Help me Father for you are my only hope.
My friends have left me to myself.
Comfort is far from me and I'm lost
Lost in this broken body and soul.
I trust in you to save me from all of this.
I look to your love that you give freely.
May the warmth of your Light shine brightly,
and warm my body and soul with love.
Prayer
Lord; it's sometimes all I can do just to look at you. The pain can be unbearable at times. But you are always with me. Your love and attention warms my spirit. I slowly recover into you. I heal and become whole. Heal those this day in pain and suffering. Pain and suffering of body or soul. Come to their rescue, and heal. You are our only hope... today... tomorrow... and forever. --- Amen
