Give ear to my words, O LORD;
understand my sighing.
Attend to the sound of my cry,
my king and my God! (Psalm 5:2-3ab NABRE)
Imagine how desperate a powerful king like David would have to be to write a song like this, meant to be shared publicly during worship. The vulnerability it expresses is remarkable!
How often do we allow ourselves to be this vulnerable before God? How often do we insist on fixing problems and enduring hardships by our own strength rather than asking the Lord who will help us?
Today, I will ask the Lord to help me with my greatest need.
Saint Anthony of Padua, priest, Doctor of the Church, and patron of lost items, the poor, and travelers, pray for us.
