Psalm 88: The Rejection Psalm
 
One day Jesus met a man who had leprosy.
This was his prayer:
 
O God, my God, listen to my cry!
I’ve been thrown out of town
I’ve become so gross and disgusting
No one will touch me or even talk to me
I only have you and I cry out to you
I’m no good to you dead, Lord!
So come to me, remember me
I know that your love can win over anything!
 
The man saw that Jesus had the power to heal him.
“Please make me clean” he said, and Jesus did.
Jesus touched him and hugged him
and his friends and family welcomed him home.
(Luke 5:12-15)
