Psalm 40 Reflection

Is there an area in your life that is acting as “quicksand” or “deep mud” that is leading you to sin? What is and how are you going to get back onto solid ground? (verse 2)

Are you feeling overwhelmed right now by guilt from past sins or feeling that you are a “mess”, “poor” and “needy” and need to confess those feelings to the Lord? Or are you lacking courage and surrounded by trouble? Do you need to acknowledge your unworthiness and inability to make sin offerings or be perfect and allow God to “make something of you”. (verses 12 +17)

If you have been delivered from sin, are you keeping the “good news about God’s justice hidden”? (verse 10)

What words do you use to describe God? Give thanks for the wonders that he has performed for you and for His plans for our lives (Verse 5).


Reflect on this Psalm in Reference to Jesus’ Passion. Think about the garden and Jesus desire to do the Father’s will and his ultimate deliverance from Worldly pain and death.
