Source: Swallow's Nest: A Feminine Reading of the Psalms by Marchiene Rienstra

1 O God, do not rebuke me in anger or punish me in Your fury. 2 Have mercy on me, O God, for I am very weak. Heal me, Shaddai, for my bones ache with anguish, 3 and my soul is filled with turmoil. O God, when will You deliver me from my despair? 4 For mercy's sake, come soon to me and save me! 5 If I die, how can I gratefully remember You? If I stay in this dreadful pit, how can I praise You? 6 I am sick with sighing, and every night I soak my sheets with tears. My face is wet with weeping, 7 and my eyes are hollow with grief. The attack on me has made me grow old. . . . 8 Depart from me, all you who would do me evil! For God has heard the sound of my sorrow. 9 She has heard my pleas, and She accepts me as I am. 10 All who have hurt me shall know shame and trouble. Dishonor will fall on their heads.

Some possible uses of this psalm:

Bring hope and soothing rays of healing to the distressed (read by a white candle)

Health (pray every morning and anoint wrists with healing oil - don't use as replacement for conventional medical care)

Pray for mercy and compassion from others (v2)

Heal diseases of the eye

Prayer of lament

Prayer for mercy

Prayer for protection (v4-5,8-9)

Prayer for emotional healing (v3,6)

Imprecatory prayer (v10)

1-3 are sourced from Power of the Psalms by Anna Riva, 4 from My New Everyday Prayer Book by Brother ADA

Lord, comfort our community as we grieve missed opportunities, the ableism we face, and how our lives could have been different. Grant us peace as we sit in difficult moments, and strength as we seek a more equitable world.

Thanks to Sara P. for today's prayer.

A Plea for Mercy

1 Remember, Adonai, what has happened to us; look, and see our disgrace. 2 The land we possessed has been passed on to strangers, our homes to foreigners. 3 We have become fatherless orphans, our mothers now are widows. 4 We have to pay to drink our own water; we have to buy our own wood. 5 The yoke is on our necks; we are persecuted; we toil to exhaustion but are given no rest. 6 We made pacts with Egypt and Ashur to get enough food. 7 Our ancestors sinned and no longer exist; we bear the weight of their guilt. 8 We are ruled by slaves, and there is no one to save us from their power. 9 We get our food at the peril of our lives because of the sword in the desert. 10 Our skins are as black as a furnace because of the searing blasts of famine. 11 They have raped the women of Tziyon, virgins in the cities of Y’hudah. 12 Princes are hung up by their hands, leaders receive no respect. 13 Young men are compelled to grind at the mill, boys stagger under loads of wood. 14 The old men have deserted the city gate, the young men have given up their music. 15 Joy has vanished from our hearts, our dancing has turned into mourning. 16 The crown has fallen from our heads. Woe to us! for we have sinned. 17 This is why our hearts are sick; this is why our eyes grow dim — 18 it’s because of Mount Tziyon, so wasted that jackals have overrun it. 19 You, Adonai, reign forever; your throne endures through all generations. 20 Why do you never remember us? Why abandon us for so long a time? 21 Adonai, turn us back to you; and we will come back; renew our days, as they were in the past — 22 unless you have totally rejected us in a fury that knows no limits.

Psalm II

--prompt from @nosebleedclub "govern" (16 September)

How to govern a world which riddles itself with dragons and wolves?

The woods cannot expand forever; the pines eventually cave in to the cold and all there's left is permafrost to cover the landscape. All across the north are staid clouds which hang like crystals, but they do not allow for snow to come down. No! All they manage to do is mock our indifference to nature-- always adapting and never relaxing.

A soldier knows how to fight off the demons, but they have their own bouts to face-- that of the creatures which crawl under the lichen, only glowing with the night. A sword could cut through overgrowth, but when faced with the piercing kisses winter brings, it only withers and rusts until it lays broken, like the branches of a maple tree.

Oh, how could one make a home here-- where only eagles call out, and not the nightingales? Where does the world begin-- it can only end on the edge of a wire, yet you still manage to cut it off!

I govern my hands, but I know not the ways of survival; all my friends sew dresses to strut across the pavement. Stripped of my pretenses, I hold myself tight, but I cannot wait for spring. I will not make it before then. --Elda Mengisto

Coming to Grips with Grinding Adversity (Psalm 137)

We need the combination of faith that my experienced is acknowledged, of hope that a better future is coming, and of love that good still presently exists in the world.

“By the Waters of Babylon, They Sat Down and Wept” by Kate Gardiner Hastings Alongside Babylon’s streams, there we sat down, crying because we remembered Zion.We hung our lyres up in the trees there because that’s where our captors asked us to sing; our tormentors requested songs of joy: “Sing us a song about Zion!” they said.But how could we possibly sing the Lord’s song on…

Another Page from the Book of Pat 04/16/24

It’s the Bureaucrats, the unelected rule makers that secretly and publicly siphon off your life through penalties and taxes. Like maggots feasting upon your bloated corpse they destroy the healthy flesh just to recreate reality for themselves. The politicians are just failed individual meat puppets for that machine. The living Ken and Barbie targets for the sheep to worship and hate. Destroy…

Express your feelings in words, using descriptive language to convey the depth and range of how you feel. Explore the whirlwind as closely as you can. Name what it is that you desire from God. Give yourself permission to speak from your heart. Demand to be heard by God by joining with the writer of Psalm 28: “Hear the sound of my pleading when I cry to you, lifting my hands toward your holy place.”

Psalm 10: God’s Response to the Wicked Now. Psalm 10 begins on a rather negative note, “Why, O Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?” This may seem negative, but it is also a very human reaction. At times, when we face trials and crisis, the Lord does seen to be far off and impersonal. This is especially true when we have to deal with those that reject the Lord. Verses 2 through 11 vividly describe a person who has no thought of the Lord, or his responsibilities to God. “His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies. He says to himself, ‘Nothing will shake me I’ll always be happy and never have trouble.’ He says to himself, ‘God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees.’” How many of us know people that reflect that attitude in their lives? When we look at unbelief and the evil actions that come from it, we may wonder why God allows this to happen. Why does He seem to stand off and watch?

Psalm 10: God’s Response to the Wicked Now

Today, it seems like the forces arrayed against the Lord’s people – the Church – are growing stronger. The doomsday prophets see the church in retreat. People challenge the fact that God is involved in the world of man today. “Look at the evil that exists. Look at how unfair things seem to be. Look at the people that seem to be doing just fine that never once thought about God or Jesus Christ.” These statements may be correct. There is a great deal of evil in the world. In fact, considering the nature of the world, it would be surprising if it was otherwise. However, the apparent strength of the opposition to Christ has nothing to do with the reality of God and His authority. What is David’s response to such thoughts? Verse 16 states, “The Lord is King for ever and ever….” Appearances are deceiving. Regardless how the world sees the present order, the Lord is King forever and ever. Simply because people may ignore that truth does not make it less real and true.

Psalm 10: God’s Response to the Wicked Now

One of the reasons why the Lord seems to stand back is His desire that all come to Him, and the Lord will give each person as many chances as possible to accept the offer of salvation. Peter wrote, “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends. With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” God is love, and He does love all people. That is why the offer of salvation is open to all. When we think that God does not seem to care, it may be that he is giving a person another chance to repent. As for us, we know that the Lord is King, and we know that we have an inheritance of eternal life. What can happen to us in this world that will change that? Can it be taken away or destroyed? No. There is nothing in this world that can affect our relationship with the Lord except ourselves. We can reject the offer that has been made; but other than that, our treasure is secure. Yes, as we have to face the day to day problems of life, we may echo the thoughts of David – “Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?” But as we consider the entire picture, we know better.

Psalm 10: God’s Response to the Wicked Now

God doesn’t stand far off. He is right here with us. Yes, we will have to face problems and trials. Yes, we will see injustice and tragedy in the world. God never promised to place us in a vacuum. But as we place our lives in the hands of our Lord, He will strengthen us and guide us to a more Christ-like life. The first verse of Psalm 10 began very negatively, but the last is a message of hope. “You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.” A final thought concerns verse 6 again. The wicked say, “Nothing will shake me; I’ll always be happy and never have trouble.” We know better. Such people are fooling themselves. Sooner or later, the sharp bite of despair will be felt. The words said with such arrogance in verse 6 are the words of youth and health. Everything in this life will surely pass away. Only the Lord stands forever. Only those that are joined to Him in Jesus Christ can say, “I will never be shaken!” That is a blessing that we need to remember.

Discrimination, apathy, and arrogance break me into pieces. Mothering God, breathe for me when I cannot breathe. Hope for me when I cannot hope.

Thank you to Sophie for today's prayer.

Daily Prayer for October 16, 2023

Prayer: Grant to us, almighty God, a renewed sense of your presence and zeal to honor you as the alone sovereign of heaven and earth. We thank you for your infinite kindness, though we do not deserve the least of your mercies. We are sinners and fall short of your glory. Each day, we sin in thought, word, and deed. Too often we use our tongues for evil instead of good. Too often they are…
