Good Enough, 173-178 Psalm 46
The psalmist of Psalm 46 describes God’s presence in the midst of a world crumbling around them. Have you ever experienced this?
Begin reading Psalm 46 again, this time out loud. If there are any phrases that shimmer or stand out to you in a special way, pause right there. In the stillness, bring your troubles to God.
God, I didn’t want to look. I didn’t want to drag all this anxiety and fear out into the open. But here it is. Not a pretty sight. But there is relief in finally letting myself feel it. So part of my fear is that there’s no help for it. I don’t see any. But this is where You come in, God, and be for me the strength I don’t have. The stability I don’t feel. Come Lord, and shelter me. Right here.
Amen.
