In the fourth week of the “Anthems” series, Pastor Nate Gagne compares Psalm 41 to Lewis Capaldi’s song ‘Someone You Loved’. In both song’s the artist speaks about the pain of rejection. Whether that be by a romantic partner as Capaldi sings about or a close friend as King David laments about on his death bed, it’s easy to try to run to things to dull the pain. However, the way to heal is through God. Just as we may feel betrayed at times by our friends, Jesus was betrayed on a grand scale leading to His crucifixion; worst of all is He knew it was going to happen. But Jesus was not looking to get even or take away His pain, He did what Pastor Nate encourages us to do now. Jesus prayed about it & left it for His Father God to remedy. Dwelling on the wrongs you’ve done or those done to you does nothing but to torment you, like Judas was tormented until his untimely death for his betrayal of Jesus & Capaldi was tormented by the loss of his love.
