Words to wake up to or, in my case, words to be refreshed by at the end of a long, stressful day. May I suggest that for any family "on edge" having the children and parents take turns reading portions of this psalm-it is a great veil of tranquility over the household; over the hurried dinner between practices and appointments, etc; or when tempers are ruffled and short... this verse is a lamp glowing with calmness.You have chosen these words wisely; and well-timed also; before we enter the solemnity of the next three days. Thank you for a beautiful interpretation on an uplifting verse! Amen, Sister! Words to wake up to or, in my case, words to be refreshed by at the end of a long, stressful day.

I do notice in our church when the prayers of the people are asked for, they are almost always prayers of petition, and seldom prayers of thanksgiving and praise, and so I do try to offer the later as much as posssible.
