a prayer based on psalm 119

Lord, I can never fully reconcile his sufferings to your purposes for him. Forgive me for those hurtful and undermining words. My faith is weak, increase my faith. I know you are making him like you but help me realise this. you are suffering eternally each time we sin against you. you chose to suffer for us, despite you being God. How good, great and loving you are! Forgive me for not having acknowledged the full meaning of what you suffered for ME!

Thank you Lord, for having called me despite my failure of you, for having made my rejections in life a calling. I remember how you called me to your presence, to affirm me of your everlasting love in my life.

Lord, how can I be pleasing to you? Despite this, I am because you think so. Lord, how can I then feel insecure in life when I am secure in your love?
