That was an awesome song @W2L.
After listening to it, I went and read Ps 116. And after seeing this verse in context.
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
I think this verse has been used wrongly.
I have always heard this verse to be referring to when a saint dies and goes to be with the LORD.
After reading it in context, I think it is referring to Romans 6:11
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Because after David says verse 15, then he says in verse 16
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

interesting theory.

So true! And I may add even our thoughts that are not specifically prayers, but just desires of our heart, He delights in us. I have had the unspoken thoughts and hopes given to me without so much as a prayer spoken. God is so good!

I feel a little troubled, perhaps the groaning within that Paul mentions in his writings. Im giving my troubles to God and will not worry.

Sometimes i think that God is weaving a beautiful tapestry with our lives....and the seemingly "dark times" are woven into its brilliant contrasting of colors that we do not see in its entirety, yet.
