This night I missed the prayer I've planned for our community, here. Good reasons, whatever. Alone now in my study I decided to read through it. It became, it was, my prayer whether I wanted it to be or not. It was THAT Psalm, the one like no other, the one that ends in the pit, no upswing at all. I was there anyway. It fit me. As I read it my heart prayed it. I read myself. But I prayed. Some excerpts from Psalm 88...

Lord my God,... I cry at night before you

my soul is filled with evils;
my life is on the brink of the grave:
I have reached the end of my strength.

You have laid me in the depths of the tomb,
in places that are dark, in the depths.

You have taken away my friends
and made me hateful in their sight.
my eyes are sunken with grief.

I have borne your trials; I am numb.

Friend and neighbor you have taken away:
my one companion is darkness.

R. Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
