Praying Through: Psalm 32:2

The Psalm

Psalm 32:2 (CSB) How joyful is a person whom the LORD does not charge with iniquity and in whose spirit is no deceit!

The Prayer

I am filled with iniquity,

• Lord, look at my sins?
• How can you not count
• my wickedness against me?

Are you a god

• that turns his head
• and ignores evil?
• Or do you call something a sin
• not a sin
• and allow it to run rampant
• and destroy everything
• that you alone have created
• and that you have loved?

My Lord,

• you did not ignore my sin
• you did not turn the other way
• you did not declare evil not evil.
• No!

You thought of me,

• laid your affections upon me
• saw me in my wickedness and deceit
• and you loved me.

And then you sent your Son,

• Jesus Christ the Holy One of God
• who is God
• to live as I should
• and to carry his cross
• and to place my sin
• upon himself
• and to attract Your wrath
• upon himself
• and saved me from the outermost
• to himself.

Christ saved me in

• Your grace
• Your sovereign
• Your power
• alone.

Blessed be your name forever.

Amen.
