Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me--
a prayer to the God of my life.
Psalms 42:5,8
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
I John 4:4
It has been a rough few days in some respects, and today has started as another rough day. Yet I find my spirit wanting to draw closer to God, to find His love as my great and consistent sustenance. To tell my soul, my body, my spirit -- all of which feel downcast at one point or another and sometimes all simultaneously -- to not be disturbed, but to hope in God. Because His love is directed toward me, and even at night his song is with me. Because I am a child of the living God and have overcome what is in this world because He who is in me is greater than the one in this world. Because I know, in my deepest heart of hearts, that God loves me and will take care of me in a better way than I could ever ask, no matter what may come. Thank you, Lord.
