Scripture: Psalm 130: 1-4
1 From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help. 2 Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer. 3 Lord, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? 4 But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.
Scripture Commentary: Cry out to God from the depths of despair.
There are times in life when we feel the depths of despair. We feel hopeless, discouraged, and life seems impossible. Times like these make us feel isolated and distant from God. This is precisely when we need God the most.
When you’re feeling sorry for yourself, surrender to God and tell Him your concerns. God is merciful. He forgives and forgets; He heals and He loves. We are His children.
Crying out to God will turn our attention to the only One who can really help.
Do not block your access to God by placing a wall between you and Him. Each second of the day God gives us a chance to talk to Him and to redeem ourselves. He hears our voice and listens to our plea.
To you who are reading this message, God has given you another chance to talk to Him. He holds no grudges. He forgives and forgets. God puts our sins as far away as the east is from the west and they are forgiven and forgotten.
