May we lament the disturbed conscience and personal weakness that comes from our sins and drives our faith to despair. If we want to know how God feels in this regard, we need to look to Jesus, who wept at Lazarus’ tomb.
God be Merciful (verses 1-3)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%206:1-5&version=TNIV
The church has bought in to our society’s materialistic worldview. We deserve God’s discipline. May we hope in God and appeal to His grace to temper the discipline we deserve. In anguish we need to confess our faults and seek God’s mercy.
O loving Father, though we have earned Your rebuke, and deserve Your discipline, do not rebuke us in Your anger or discipline us in Your wrath. Have mercy on us, Lord. Heal us and remove our anguish.
