Psalm 35:11-16
Malicious witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I do not know. They repay me evil for good; my soul is bereft. But I, when they were sick– I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting; I prayed with head bowed on my chest. I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; as one who laments his mother, I bowed down in mourning. But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered; they gathered together against me; wretches whom I did not know tore at me without ceasing; like profane mockers at a feast, they gnash at me with their teeth.
Lord, there are relationships in my life, some weak and sickly, some damaged, some broken; all needing Your guiding hand. I need to repent to You for my actions and inactions that have caused these situations. I need to seek forgiveness from family and friends where I have caused hurt and disappointment. I need to swallow my pride. This is frightening, help me, Lord Jesus.
