Psalm 6: God - The Gracious Healer of the Wounded Soul

    "Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing;
        heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled.
    My soul also is greatly troubled.
        But you, O LORD—how long?
    Turn, O LORD, deliver my life;
        save me for the sake of your steadfast love."
(Psalm 6:2-4 ESV)

Life can be painful sometimes. Whether it be from the death of a loved one, the betrayal of a friend or spouse, or our own sins and failures, this pain can cut straight to our souls; and it hurts. Sometimes we may feel like we have no where that we can turn, no one to turn to. Sometimes, in the midst of heartache, all we can see is the pain. All that we can see is the sin, and the death, and the sadness that is around us, and it can be suffocating.

But praise God that He never abandons us! He is full of love and grace for us and wants to deliver us from our pain. We must but cry out to Him and He is there to comfort us. God hears us when we weep. He sees us when we are in the midst of pain. And His love is steadfast. He is there, He knows, and He cares.

            "for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
    The LORD has heard my plea;
        the LORD accepts my prayer."
(Psalm 6:8-9 ESV)

So rest in God. Take comfort in Him and know that He loves you. He is right beside you, waiting to comfort you, to support you, to heal your soul. Cry out to Him and He will hear you.
