GOODNESS AND MERCY

GOODNESS AND MERCY??

”The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.

He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.

He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.

Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.”

Psalm 23?

”You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”

Psalm 16?

YOU ARE WITH ME

”When I have You, I’ve got everything I need.

You lead me to the green fields,
my weary soul finds rest in You.

You restore me, redeem me and lead me,

You turn my heavy heart into singing,
songs of joy, joy everlasting.

Your thoughts for me are wider,
Your love for me is deeper than the ocean…

This is more than I can comprehend

You are with me.

Thou storms may surround me, I Will not be shaken.
When fear tries to steal my peace, You NEVER leave me.

I set my eyes on you, my shepherd, my saviour and my friend,

You are with me.
And I’ll be with you forever more.”

/Interpretation of psalm 23

A HOPE AND A FUTURE

A HOPE AND A FUTURE?”For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
/Jeremiah 29:11

HEALER OF THE BROKENHEARTED?
”He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
/Psalms 147

”The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
/Psalms 34:18

?

When your fear tells your faith there is no use in those prayers anymore…Hold on. Hope. Hold on.
He will give you faith. Fuel to your hope.
Keep holding on. Light will come through.

FREEDOM

”I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.

He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.”

Psalms 40

FLOURISH


”You are not made to fit in,
You are not made to blend in.

You are made to be you,
to the fullest,
no excuses!

Just as you are.
Be you, be free.”

Psalms 139:
”For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!”
