hope from Psalm 119

..."You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in Your WORD. Sustain me according to YOUR purpose and I will Live. Do not let my hopes be dashed. Uphold me, and I will be DELIVERED...."

"Look upon my suffering and DELIVER me for I have not forgotten your laws. Defend my cause and REDEEM me. Preserve my life according to YOUR purpose...."

PRESERVE MY LIFE ACCORDING TO YOUR PURPOSE......

"Great PEACE have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble...."

"My soul is weary with sorrow, strengthen me according to YOUR word..."

"...preserve my life according to Your word....."
"...preserve my life in YOUR righteousness......"
"...preserve my life according to YOUR love....."

"If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction..."

Father, God...help me love your law, teach me to love your way and not my own. teach me to DELIGHT in your laws, in your love and in your purpose for me that i may be preserved and not perish in my affliction....DELIVER ME. DELIVER ME from this pain and this darkness that i may delight in you once again. DELIVER ME, my GOD. my REFUGE. MY strength. DELIVER ME.

Lyss, I do pray this for you (and myself as well). The Word of God and the truth of the Gospel will lead us to the thanksgiving Paul talks about in Phil. 4--that leads to thinking rightly (whatever is true...whatever is honorable...)--that leads in turn to peace, that guards your heart. I will continue to pray with you for that peace to come.
