Read Psalm 130

Read Psalm 130

130 From the depths of my despair I call to you, Lord.

²Hear my cry, O Lord;

listen to my call for help!

³If you kept a record of our sins,

who could escape being condemned?

⁴But you forgive us,

so that we should stand in awe of you.

⁵I wait eagerly for the Lord’s help,

and in his word I trust.

⁶I wait for the Lord

more eagerly than watchmen wait for the dawn—

than watchmen wait for the dawn.

⁷Israel, trust in the Lord,

because his love is constant

and he is always willing to save.

⁸He will save his people Israel

from all their sins.

Think

Psalm 130 reminds us not to live in guilt - but to accept the forgiveness that God offers.  "He is always willing to save.  He will save his people..." (7-8)

Pray

Thank you for your forgiveness.

Thank you for the strength that you promise me to help me love as you call me to love.
