A Hymn/Psalm/Poem of Consolation and Two Prayer Requests

Life; a thoroughfare of hurdles!Where does our help come from?!! Ps.121:1-2I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Jer.17:5-8 This is what the Lord says:“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,who draws strength from mere fleshand whose heart turns away from the Lord. That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;they will not see prosperity when it comes.They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,in a salt land where no one lives. “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the waterthat sends out its roots by the stream.It does not fear when heat comes;its leaves are always green.It has no worries in a year of droughtand never fails to bear fruit.” Please, if you read this pray for my parents;Dad in hospital with UTI and quite restless and confused.Pray he may have a calmer day today!And pray for my mother to be strengthened physically,mentally and spiritually during this strain. Please also pray for my friends packing up today,to move to another province; one of their children is sick today!Please pray for speedy recovery and strength for everyoneas they pack everything that can possibly fit into a U-Haul.Please pray as well, for safe travels tomorrow,that God would go (tangibly) before them andAnd part modern day Red Seas! *** Below is one of the hymns we (dad, mom and me) sang last nightin dad's hospital room. Singing calmed him when nothing else seemed to work. Let faith in God my fortress beInvisible securityNo height or depth of wealth transcends Goodness and mercy's dividends No summit of success comparesTo hope in He who hears our prayersNo confidence comforts the soulSave in the faith that makes us wholeNo satisfying substituteCan nourish like the Spirit's fruitNo other ear can hear hearts pleadAnd minister to urgent need No voice but his can part the seaOf man's impossibility No thoughts and ways can comprehendThe blessings He delights to send No earthly joy can strengthen, saveThe one who commands wind and wave Whose whisper calms the storm-tossed heartWith peace only He can impart Able to do exceedingly More than we can fathom or seeNo cross can crush nor shadow dimAs we believe and trust in Him Janet Martin For the family moving I am praying miracle over miracleshowered on them today and in the days ahead! 💓🙏
