36th Day of Lent +++ The Terrors of Death

Psalm55   Psaume 55




Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught

We lie awake in the darkest and longest hours of the night. Problems and situations, people and places, the past and the future all turn over and over in our minds – even the smallest whisper of a thought becomes powerful.
We are restless. We are troubled.

My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen on me.

In the waking hours we are distracted. The walls close in around us. Faces are questioning but never understanding. Nothing is real and yet everything is too intense, too harsh.

We are alone.

As for me, I call to God and the Lord saves me.

We reach out our drowning arm, up from the hungry sea. It is held fast. The troubles are eased, the past fades and the future unfolds before us, brighter than before.

We are loved.
