A meditation on forgiveness inspired by Psalm 6.
O Lord, I cannot bear this separation from you.
Discipline me, yes, but not while you are angry.
Correct me because you love me;
redirect my footsteps on the path of your perfect will.
My lonely heart searches but cannot find you.
Guilt and shame have settled into my bones,
aching and restless.
Show me your compassion because I am frail
and helpless without you.
Soothe my body, which groans in despair,
and my heart, which yearns for your friendship.
Comfort me with the sound of your voice
calling me by my name once again.
