Psalm 130:1-6
Pray with Depth
Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning—Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
Commentary
“All of us pray but the number of times we have prayed with a cry from the heart is numbered. When we face a totally complicated problem with no foreseeable hope, we have no other resolution but to cry out – and God wants this part because this part is what will make changes to our heart and mind. “Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord”. We say this prayer every night while we are yawning! What depths?! It is not even coming out of the depth of our throat! We mumble without feelings. Let us cry out to God and we will find Him coming in through the closed doors, just as He appeared to the disciples after His resurrection even though the doors of the room were shut.”

~ Fr Dawood Lamey

Reflection
Question 1
What are some ways we can ensure we are praying from the depth of our heart and not just mumbling words?
