Psalm 39:12-13

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

Sorry to read this @ohioboy. From the day I first joined this forum, you were always a polite, informative and well-respected member here. I am sending you my best wishes and, like many others, will be praying for the very best outcome for you. x

Sorry you are having health issues, can sympatize, hope you get care you need.

Tho i left organized religions half my life ago, certain prayers have continued to have deep meanings for me. The prayer of St. Francis that begins"...let me be an instrument of thy peace..." And this psalm because of the shift in pronouns between verses 3 & 4. It goes from God being mentioned in 3rd person (He) to second person, (you). Indicating more personal, direct interaction with God.

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

My favourite psalm, it is so very comforting.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

Summary of the Bible, new testament. Wondrous words.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” John 14:1-4

Ohioboy:
I am sorry that you are ill. You have helped me over the years to understand some parts of the Constitution. Reading it is not always understanding it. You have made it understandable for me. Whatever it is that you are suffering with, I hope that you are able to overcome it. God Bless You.
