Psalm 102:7
“I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 102Meaning
The speaker remains awake and exposed. The verse gives language to insomnia-like distress without promising that prayer will instantly restore sleep.
The afflicted person pours out grief
Urgent petitions and images of weakness, isolation, humiliation, grief, and mortality.
Read carefully
The verse reports sleepless suffering and gives no such guarantee.
Reflection
Bring the wakefulness honestly into prayer.
