makairos
What it means
Grief does not distance God. The very brokenness we might hide is where He comes nearest.
David wrote this psalm after feigning madness to escape Abimelech. It is an acrostic of praise from a man who had been humiliated and afraid.
Where it addresses you
Your heart is broken and you feel far from God.
You are ashamed of how crushed you feel.
