When words fail you...

There are times when words fail you...

When you feel so much is going on inside of you and/or around you that you no longer know how to process everything or how to express them with words...

When those you care about seem to be going through troubled waters and yet even your extended arm isn't long enough to reach them...

When you feel so overwhelmed by it all that you almost feel paralysed...

And yet I know that the LORD my God is still in control even in all this. That His arms are long enough to reach those across the distance, and that He does care for them much more than anyone in this world could!

And so even though words fail me... I know Him who would understand my broken prayers!

To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
Selah

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

Come, behold the works of the LORD,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.
"Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!"
The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

Psalm 46
