38. Linger in Psalm 103 "The LORD is Merciful and Compassionate"

Welcome to the Linger podcast. Today we will be reading from⁠ Psalm 103 The New Living Translation We are going to be lingering in the presence of God. He invites us to sit with Him, to be still, to cease striving and know that He is God. To linger means to abide, to remain, to stay for a length of time, to become affected by the presence of where we are staying. We will linger in scripture, in prayer, in breathing in and out the Word of God as we listen to Him, as we wait and listen for Holy Spirit to speak to us, and then pray what He is leading us to pray. . Psalm 103 The New Living Translation⁠ 1 Let all that I am praise the Lord;    with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.2 Let all that I am praise the Lord;    may I never forget the good things he does for me.3 He forgives all my sins    and heals all my diseases.4 He redeems me from death    and crowns me with love and tender mercies.5 He fills my life with good things.    My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! 6 The Lord gives righteousness    and justice to all who are treated unfairly. 7 He revealed his character to Moses    and his deeds to the people of Israel.8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful,    slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.9 He will not constantly accuse us,    nor remain angry forever.10 He does not punish us for all our sins;    he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him    is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.12 He has removed our sins as far from us    as the east is from the west.13 The Lord is like a father to his children,    tender and compassionate to those who fear him.14 For he knows how weak we are;    he remembers we are only dust.15 Our days on earth are like grass;    like wildflowers, we bloom and die.16 The wind blows, and we are gone—    as though we had never been here.17 But the love of the Lord remains forever    with those who fear him.His salvation extends to the children’s children18     of those who are faithful to his covenant,    of those who obey his commandments! 19 The Lord has made the heavens his throne;    from there he rules over everything. 20 Praise the Lord, you angels,    you mighty ones who carry out his plans,    listening for each of his commands.21 Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels    who serve him and do his will!22 Praise the Lord, everything he has created,    everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the Lord. . Breath Prayer from today's passage: (Taking slow breath in and releasing slow breath out.) Breathe in and say: "The Lord is compassionate and merciful," Breathe out: "slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love." (repeat) .
