During these tumultuous times we are living in, this Psalm calms my soul and reminds me that my true strength and salvation lie in God.
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?
Life can be overwhelming for all of us. We try to prepare, plan and control as much of our lives as we can, but inevitably we are all faced with circumstances beyond our control. Sometimes what worries us is an illness, sometimes it is a family member’s problems, sometimes it is a circumstance in the world that causes us grief and sadness. To be sure, we can and should make a positive difference in the world, but we cannot fix these problems on our own. Often, we get frustrated and overwhelmed because we forget that we are not God but rather imperfect human beings who do not have all the answers.
