Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
--Schlegel
you know my fears and troubles
how wayless in the fog I feel
my comfort, my comfort here
is that Lord you know.
that you know.
put in me
a nest, oh lord
fill it with many eggs
containing hope
which hatch when the heat of all of these pressures sits upon me
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Henry F. Lyte, 1847.
and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all. Λουκᾶς the physician, account of jesus

because power was coming from him
Depend on the Lord; trust him, and he will take care of you.
prayer of old king david
recently came across this in a much-needed time, and in as much as i have put this to the test, God has not yet failed to provide his wisdom and help in significant ways.
