Deep Down Healing (Psalm 6:2)

² Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

Psalm 6:2

The tears flowed and the little boy whaled as he sat on the floor having fallen off His tricycle, his elbow grazed and bloodied by the fall. 

His mother rushed over picked him up and began to console her child, tending to his injury. She wasn’t flustered, she was purposeful in the placing of her hands the administration of healing in her words, her sounds, her movement. 

She knew that this injury was surface level on the skin and had not troubled the bones nothing was broken it was a graze. 

But what happens when the hurt isn’t physical its emotional and feels so deep within that no plaster can get to it?

We call on the Lord God who is a specialist at healing emotional wounds deep down within our soul.

The writer of this psalm is calling out to God and it is clear that he has had enough. He can no longer carry the weight and he is calling upon the Lord. 

We are reassured in Psalm 34:12 that when this poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

This is the same assurance that I can imagine the little boy felt when his mother picked him up and began to tend to his wounds. 

This week as we pray, let’s place our deep emotional wounds in the care of the only one that can heal from within our Lord Jesus Christ. 

This is God’s word spoken in love. Remember The LORD our God, He is good and His mercies endure forever. May the blessings of the LORD overtake you and come upon you and His love surround you, for His glory. Have a blessed week. In Jesus Name.
