The Psalm
Psalm 32:6 (CSB) Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to you immediately. When great floodwaters come, they will not reach him.
The Prayer
God of my little belief
Oh how many times, O Lord,
have I whispered nothings
gave half-hearted thanks
prayed and did not believe
spoke and did not think it was real.
When I was an ungodly husband
and my weak non-prayers were unanswered
When I was a sinful subject
and any other king would ignore me
or worse yet
have me executed
for high treason?
But that is not you.
You are the King who sends his heralds
to tell the nations
about the good news
that the God of the universe
relentlessly
passionately
persistently
wonderfully
goes after us.
Even those of us
who are the most vile
most wicked
the chief of sinners
like me.
You rescued me
you called on me
I call on you.
You turn your ear to me
because I am your son
because of Your Son
because of Your Spirit within me
becasue you love me.
Be exalted, O Lord.
Be exalted higher and higher.
