Psalm 23 by Judith Booth

Today I saw a picture of an acquaintance's new baby boy. My immediate thought, normal or not, was will I ever have a picture like that? And then the anxiety sets in. So instead of stressing out, I'm writing on my blog and taking comfort in these words...

The Lord is my peace. I shall not live in anxiety. He puts me under his wing of comfort and calms my spirit within me. He takes my anxieties on Himself and helps me to focus on Him. Yes, though I walk through a time of grave uncertainties and fierce anxieties, I will not fret - for You are my peace. Your Word and Your presence calm me now. You hold my uncertainties in the palm of Your hand. You soothe my anxious mind - You smooth my wrinkled brow. Surely serenity and trust in You shall fill me all of the days of my life. And I shall keep my mind stayed on you forever.
