The Psalm Project #44

Bible Open to Psalms

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us,
for we have endured much contempt (Psalm 123:3).

Dear God, my worldview is aligning with Yours,
and is at odds with the world.
I am accused of lacking compassion
because I have compassion for the most vulnerable.
I am accused of intolerance
because I refuse to say what’s wrong is good.
Lord, help my witness be a positive one,
one that reflects your righteousness and love,
rather than my need to be right.
Activate Your Holy Spirit in me
so that wisdom abides in me
and nothing false flows from my mouth. Amen.
