Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!

I dare say that this has been the Truth that not only stands for us here and now, more than two thousand years Anno Domini... but it's the Truth that has endured and stood for our countless brothers and sisters throughout all the ages and through all generations and centuries.

'Why so downcast, o my soul? Put your hope in God.'

He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

I am humbled. I am brought to stillness. Sweet, sweet stillness. In stillness, there is peace. In peace, there is power.

God is here, God is my peace, and God is our Partner.

I am a mere grain of sand on an infinite beach.

Praise and glory to the Father, for the reading of the Word. Amen.

You are loved, you are not forgotten.

I love you, O LORD, my strength. Psalm 18:1
