Scripture Reading
Psalm 62:8
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
Reflection
"Pour out your heart" — this is not polished, composed prayer. It is the full weight of what you are carrying, the grief and fear and frustration that you might hesitate to bring into "holy" space. But God is a refuge, which means he can handle everything you bring. Hold nothing back today.
