The Psalm
Psalm 37 (CSB)
8 Refrain from anger and give up your rage; do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.
9 For evildoers will be destroyed, but those who put their hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
The Prayer
My Only God
I repent
of a life that exacted
vengeance for my wounds
revenge for my pain
justice for wrongs against me.
I repent for being wrathful.
You, O Lord, are the ONLY being
deserving of justice
because you have been wronged
deserving of vengeance
because you have been hurt
wrathful
because you are jealous for me.
Lord, I am repenting
of when I thought I was you.
Beat this out of me
make me your servant
keep me as your friend
love me as your lover
Be my Lord and my God forever.
Amen.
