Psalm 69:1-3. “Save me, O God, for the waters are come in unto my soul. I sink in deep mire where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters where the floods overflow me: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.”

v.3. Strong crying and tears lead to exhaustion, From within, it drains all we have. The Lord Jesus, in suffering our condemnation – Gave all that He had me to save.
v.8. When those of your flesh from you turn away – There is a hurt that can’t be explained.
Brothers in His family didn’t accept His claims, Treating Him as a stranger – abandoned by them.
