Psalm 55.

Listen to my prayer, O God,
do not ignore my plea;
hear me and answer me.
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.

My heart is in anguish within me; Fear and trembling have beset me;


I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest- I would flee far away
and stay in the desert;
[Selah] I would hurry to my place of shelter,
far from the tempest and storm."

But I call to God,
and the LORD saves me.

Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and He hears my voice.

He ransoms me unharmed
from the battle waged against me.

Cast your cares on the LORD
and He will sustain you;
He will never let the righteous fall.


be still and know that I am God...

If He is God then will He not be faithful again?
Is He not for you...and NOT aganist you?
Will He not see you through again?
Does He not offer grace and hope like none other?
If He is God then did He not give up the most precious thing in His world for you?
Is He not dancing, singing, and rejoicing over you?
In every moment He is there. In every breath and every thought.
Does He not love you with an everlasting love?
Does He not bring you the needed help and encouragement?
Does He not promise rest for your soul?

He does.




[how long oh Lord?]


something to consider: the 'tempest storm' is anything leading to or causing pain, heartache, stress,or tension. so often we try to get away from the things in our lives because it is a burden or a problem to us, or it stresses us out. however, we must be still and know He is God. and wouldn't you much rather have Him in control and work things out and bring us rest then something else? don't run from it, instead run to Him....

for His arms are open wide for you....


[waiting is the hardest part.]
