When I am fearful, I read the Psalms….they give me strength and peace.
This is from Psalm 34…
I bless God every chance I get;
my lungs expand with his praise.
I live and breathe God;
if things aren’t going well, hear this and be happy:
Join me in spreading the news;
together let’s get the word out.
God met me more than halfway,
he freed me from my anxious fears.
Look at him; give him your warmest smile.
Never hide your feelings from him.
When I was desperate, I called out,
and God got me out of a tight spot.
God’s angel sets up a circle
of protection around us while we pray.
Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see—
how good God is.
Blessed are you who run to him.
Worship God if you want the best;
worship opens doors to all his goodness.
(Psalm 34:1-9 MSG)

I looked up a few times today … it brings such peace … knowing that beyond those clouds, past the atmosphere, is a vast universe, which my Creator God put in place … If He can run that, He surely can deal with my life … It’s all in His capable hands 🙂
Amen sis!
