From the depths of despair, O LORD,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer.
LORD, if you kept a record of our sins,
who, O Lord, could ever survive?
But you offer forgiveness,
that we might learn to fear you.
I am counting on the LORD;
yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word.
I long for the Lord
more than sentries long for the dawn,
yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
O Israel, hope in the LORD;
for with the LORD there is unfailing love.
His redemption overflows.
He himself will redeem Israel
from every kind of sin.
-Psalm 130
Tuesday You blessed me with the opportunity to hug and pray with my brother Gavin home from Guatemala for a bit. Lord it warms my heart to spend time with him and I thank You for his friendship. I cannot wait to stand beside him and shout Holy Holy Holy worthy is the lamb to You for eternity...
And then last night my other friend tells me he tested positive for HIV. God I don't know what to do. You bless me with Gavin's company then slam me with this? Abba hear my cry PLEASE heal him. Please don't let death take him yet. Please wrap him in Your arms this morning as he wakes up. A homeless man with HIV, I don't know how he is so brave. My brother is hurting, please let him know You are with him. Use me to show Your love to him.
LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? Hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows. He himself will redeem us from every kind of sin.
With You there is unfailing love, there is redemption that overflows, there is no record of sin. Help my brother forgive himself because You've already forgiven him. My heart breaks for him. Jesus this world is so broken. You broke the chain of sin and death and I praise You for that. Jesus You are good. You are so good and I ask that You dwell in my brother's heart give him Your powerful peace. Walk with him today. Abba You are good. Rescue my friend from death.
