Psalm 6:1-10

1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage.

2 Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak. Heal me, LORD, for my body is in agony.

3 I am sick at heart. How long, O LORD, until you restore me?

4 Return, O LORD, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love.

5 For in death, who remembers you? Who can praise you from the grave?

6 I am worn out from sobbing. Every night tears drench my bed; my pillow is wet from weeping.

7 My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

8 Go away, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my crying.

9 The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will answer my prayer.

10 May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame. (NLT)

God is a Holy God and when we come before Him we must know our place and our condition before Him. Even though you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, God is still Holy. You must humbly come before Him, honor Him and praise Him. It is because of His unfailing and unconditional love that we are here and that we can come before Him personally. For we are weak and our hearts are sick that we must come before God in an attitude of humility and in confession of our sins.

For when our hearts are right before for Him He hears our cries, forgives our sins and answers our prayers. He is always right beside us, loving us, guiding us, waiting for us and instructing us.

Turn your heart to the Lord and He will rescue you from your trouble.
