Psalm 51 - Pondering The Psalms

This week’s meditation focuses on Psalm 51 - A Psalm of Confession. The Psalms express every emotion felt by humans and not only teach us how to pray, but invite us to bring our honest and unedited feelings before our loving and merciful Creator. Today we make space to examine and express the condition of our souls, as we rest in the healing Presence of the Lord. “We have to fashion our own desert where we can withdraw ever day, shake off our compulsions and dwell in the gentle healing presence of the Lord. Without such a desert we will lose our own soul.” Henri Nouwen - The Way of the Heart. So find a quiet place where you can pull away from the noise and distractions around you.
