As for you, O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me! For evils have encompassed me beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me.
When the focus of my mind’s eye becomes my sins and iniquities, I am consumed with guilt, rampant evil and self-centeredness, but You call me to keep my thoughts on You, to see the great sacrifice and to trust in Your goodness.
