Psalm 6: The Song of Weary Tears

The Woven Psalms

“O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath.” (Psalm 6:1)
The Psalms are much more honest with emotions than we are. We often hide how we feel not only from others but also from ourselves or from God. We might feel pressure to say that we’re fine even when our lives are crumbling. But the Psalms can open a pressure release valve that allows us to be vulnerable in the safety of God’s love.
The Woven Psalms is a reflective, unhurried, and practical podcast about praying every psalm in the Bible. This podcast is a ministry of Rock Hill Community Church in Duluth, MN. You can learn more about our work at www.wovenpsalms.com.
