Episode 10: When the Brokenness Feels Overwhelming

Join us for Episode 10 in our seven-week series, The Psalms of Ascent: A Lenten Pilgrimage. The word translated “ascent” means “to go up.” It gives an idea of being on a journey, moving to a higher place spiritually. In this week's episode, Lisa and Laura dive into Psalm 130, often referred to as de profundis, a Latin phrase meaning “out of the depths.” If you are experiencing a brokenness that has you crying from the depths, believing there is no chance of hope, this episode is for you, dear friend. Grab your Bible, and maybe a box of tissues, and get ready to invite Him in.

Open your Heart to our key Scripture.
Psalm 130:1–8: Waiting for Divine Redemption.
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
That you may be feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in his word I hope;
My soul waits for the Lord
More than watchmen for the morning,
More than watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with him is plenteous redemption.
And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
