Psalm 37

Was seeking God late last nite.. or rather, early this morning. cried out to him to take all the burdens away, to cleanse my heart of all the pain & worry that i was bearing. i thot things were ok, were better, were over, but i guess it was not at all settled.. my mind can try to console itself, but my heart can't cheat itself. it knows when things are cleared, when things are still on my hurting heart..

But God is loving & kind & in my despair He is my Hope, my Shelter & my Loving Comforter.. He impressed upon my heart to read Psalms 37:3.. i did & immediately felt better.. God really knows what i needed & what i wanted to hear... the whole Psalm became such a comfort to me.. GOd asks me NOT to FRET.. not to Worry, for He is ALWAYS in CONTROL..

Psalm 37: 1-9

1 Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD ;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
do not fretwhen men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret-it leads only to evil.
9 For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
