Sunday Psalms:

Bend down, 

O Lord, 

and hear my prayer; answer me, 

for I need your help. Protect me, 

for I am devoted to you. Save me, 

for I serve you and trust you. 

You are my God.

Be merciful to me, 

O Lord, 

for I am calling on you constantly.

Psalms 86:1-3 NLT

On those days when we don't have the words to talk with God then this song of David may be helpful.

We can borrow his words written several thousand years ago to cry to God, to call to Him. 

This song gives us freedom to ask.

Freedom to express what's going on for us, just as David did.

As you take a moment to sit with David's heart seeking to commune with God, what comes up for you today?

What connects?

(Maybe what jars a little?)

Our God is not afraid or unwilling to hear all of our stuff.

I'm sure He loves to hear the good, the stories of connection and growth and blessing. David keeps it real and we can too, there's also disconnection, disappointment, and disillusionment.

Maybe there's an invitation to write your own song today:

Bend down God, because I have things going on today, 

things I need to say,

things I need you to hear...
