Praying Through: Psalm 32:3b

The Psalm

Psalm 32:3 (CSB) When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

The Prayer

My God

While I tried to ignore

and even
excuse the pain caused me.
My body never forgets.

While I will make excuses

and blameshift
my sins against others
My soul remembers.

Your forgiveness

does not erase my wrongdoings.
But your Son's blood
covers my trespasses.

Help me to cry out to you,

for you are my Lord and my God
you are my Savior and Messiah
you are my Friend and my Brother
you are the only one who cared for me.
you are the only one who healed me.
you are the only one who saved me.

Be exalted, O Lord. Be lifted up higher and higher.

Amen.
