Updated: Oct 2, 2020
Message for worship at West Richmond Friends Meeting, 7th of Sixth Month, 2020
Speaker: Brian C. Young
Scripture: Psalm 22:1–2, 14–15
Psalm 22:1-2, 14-15, NRSV:
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me.
15 My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.
