Hebrews 9:15

Hebrews 9:15

Hebrews 9:15  “Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.”

Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy

In Your faithfulness answer me – in Your righteousness!

Enter not into judgment with Your servant, for no one living is righteous before You

For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground

He has made me sit in darkness like those long dead

Therefore my spirit faints within me, my heart within me is appalled

But I remember the days of old

I meditate on all You have done

I ponder the work of Your hands

I stretch out my hands to You

My soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah

Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails

Hide not Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit

Let me hear in the morning of Your steadfast love, for in You I trust

Make me know the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul

Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord! I have fled to You for refuge

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God

Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground; for Your name’s sake, O Lord, preserve my life

And lead me in the way everlasting

Amen

My name is Jeremy Vogan. I live in Staunton, VA with my wife and four kids. I love to write, and seek to honestly explore the intellectual and emotional implications of following Jesus as a deeply broken person in a twisted, cruel world that is full of veiled beauty and meaning. Writing is part of how I faithfully look for Jesus Christ to someday make all things new. I'd enjoy hearing your feedback! JV
