psalm 62
The pslam chosen for the 3rd Sunday after the Epiphany is Psalm 62. Verse eight struck me this morning:
Trust in him at all times, O People; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.
Trust in him at all times, O People; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.

Hope all is well for Ira this morning. God bless you and your family today.
YOU SHALL NOT BE SHAKEN.
XOXO
Here is a prayer from Walter Brueggemann's book of prayers, "Awed to Heaven, Rooted in Earth."
"We tell these stories
about being hungry and thirsty
and frightened and angry
and desperate.
"And then we tell stories
about your food and your water
and your presence.
"But the second half of the story
does not ring powerfully true in our own experience,
so much so that we find ourselves
and our whole beloved community
are often pilgrims in a barren land;
and we find our sophistication and our affluence
does not at all treat our condition of wilderness.
"So finally we are driven back to you,
about to receive and then drawn up short
by the One who has nowhere to lay his head either.
"We are bold to pray for your gifts
and for your presence
but we do so prepared to endure a while longer
our thirst and our hunger and our sense of absence
because we have resolved to be on your way with or without you.
Amen."
