i found that reading the bible to yourself as God speaking to your inner world of being brings peace after the storm. It enlightens you on the deeper truths of Scripture and turns you into a God and people loving person.

Peace.

Psalms 27
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?


When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.


One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.


Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.


Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.


I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

May you find all you desire, under The Lord's wings. Amen!

Nowadays I often think of Christ's encouragement to not worry and to not be afraid, and then I say the Lord's prayer. It helps me a lot, my anxiety shoves me into useless, strange and hurtful self-occupation all the time and it can be hard to let go.

Said a prayer for you brother. Christ with you.

Praying you find the same. In Jesus name, Amen.

Poverbs 23:23 Buy the truth and do not sell it—
wisdom, instruction and insight as well.

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Praying for you for wisdom, clarity and peace.

I discovered psalm 23 in a new and wonderful way when I needed a fussy surgery procedure, very delicate surgery that ended up taking 4-1/2 hours. I went in a bit nervous and anxious of the unknown. But I just trusted God and prayed for the surgery team and my doctor. I awoke being rolled into my room reciting the first part of Psalm 23. I found it calming. My wife was in the room and within a couple of hours I was able to eat. Later after she left and through the night a little anxiety would well up and I immediately each time began reciting those opening lines to Psalm 23 and fell back off to sleep each time. In the morning I got a new nurse and I could sense something was bothering her. I got her to disclose something going on in her life with her son and was able to witness to her about how we have God and how He is in charge. I only spoke simple words but the Spirit was obviously in it because she responded tremendously and kept coming back to my room seeming to want more. Later in the day I was released and she took the wheelchair duty from the girl who was going to wheel me out to my wife and waiting car.

This prompted a couple of things in me. To memorize more scripture as prayer and all of Psalm 23 which is still my go to on a difficult night. And also to go to the hospital chapel now and then and leave a prayer of blessing in the register there. Well maybe not so much during the pandemic lol !! But to go and pray for others in itself is calming, it gets our minds off of self.
