Let Me Hear Even Your Sighs
My dear son,
Tonight, I would like to hear honestly what you are hoping for. You do not need to wrap it in impressive words. A happy wish or an urgent request matters to me because it carries something of your heart.
Come to me even on days when the first thing you can offer is a sigh. A long groan does not make your prayer inadequate. Your Father knows your desires; share your heart without struggling to explain every detail.
If you would rather sit together without words, we can do that. I treasure the time you feel at home with me. Set down the effort of hiding what is inside, and rest.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 38:9
WEB9Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
A short reflection
The psalmist declares that every longing is before God and that none of his sighing is hidden from him.
