Weeping Into Worship
Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
- Psalm 6:4
Prayer
Father, you are merciful. You are gracious. You showed your steadfast love to us by sending Jesus to die in our place. Father, I confess my weaknesses and my sins and my sinful ways. Rebuke me gently and discipline me lightly in your love. Father, fears assault me, depression launches its attacks, and my heart grieves. Restore me and draw me near to you Lord. Father, you hear the sound of my weeping. How long until you turn my weary weeping into worship? Father, you have heard me and you will answer. You are the victorious God who raised Jesus from the grave. You are faithful, you will not fail me. You made a way, you will do it again.
Training
We are all weak. We are all sinful. Our disgusting and depraved actions and thoughts deserve the penalty of death, but God is merciful.
God is merciful. Jesus-in-our-place merciful. God’s display of mercy declares His enduring love for us.
God disciplines those He loves. God’s discipline is for our good.
Warriors, you are loved. God will turn your weeping into worship.
