Lord, Hear My Voice!

 

 

Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!

 

If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.

 

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.

 

O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love; and with him is great power to redeem. It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

 

Psalm 130:1-8

 

We all have terrible guilt for things done and undone in the past. But, thankfully, God forgives. We worship and adore God, for grace and forgiveness cause us to love Him all the more.

 

But what happens if we slide back to our sinful ways? What if sin lingers? We are to repent and wait on the Lord to show us the new way. We are to be patient while God works in us. We are not hopeless cases. God will deliver us in His time.

 

God will never forsake us.

 

When we are forgiven,

no record is kept of our failures.
