I can take great comfort in knowing that when I'm mixed in side with so many thoughts or emotions I can always turn to the Psalms and find comfort and soothing peace for my soul.
Psalm 63
Here is a different version of it from a beautiful book that just helps to bring it closer to our understanding and easy to take to our hearts. Psalms/Now by Brandt/Corita
Like a thirsty child raching for a drink,
I grasp for You, O God.
And I have found You.
I have sensed Your holy presence
in the worship service;
and in the hour of prayer
I have felt You to be near.
I realize now that Your love for me
is far better than life itself.
My heart is full of joy and contentment
My mouth is filled with praises for You.
Even the night hours are no longer lonely
as I contemplate Your tender concern for me.
The enemies of my soul still seek to betray me,
but they shall not snatch me out of Your hand.
And now that I have found You,
I shall be secure and happy forever.
Psalms always comfort me :)
