David’s Prayer (8/22/2021)

The 23rd chapter of Psalms was my mother’s favorite chapter in the Bible. It’s one of the few that I can quote and is in my heart. As I was driving to Dallas yesterday, it kept going over in my head. I got stuck on “he restores my soul”. I think we all need our soul restored. With everything that has happened since 2020, we all need new life, new energy, new intelligence, we all need our spirits renewed. It’s been difficult for everyone from every walk of life. The first part of the chapter says “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” I can definitely relate. With over 1/2 million people dead and more dying, I feel like I am in the valley of death. But the part that Psalmist David says “you are with me” is the best part. It lets me know, that there is hope for restoration and that God never leaves us or forsakes us. This is the valley of the shadow of death but we need to press on and fear no evil. We need to know that our soul will be restored and that goodness and mercy will come. This was David’s prayer and it’s mine too. Drop a ❤️ if it’s yours too. #SundaySermon #DealingtoHealing
