Last night as I was falling asleep, I realized again just how fortunate I am. I'd had a bit of a rough day and went to bed early. Bob sat down and was reading the Bible. This is the last Psalm he read to me. It echoed in my Spirit. Hope it does the same for you.

Psalm 61

(The Bible in Basic English)

1 Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.  

2 From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.  

3 For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

4 I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings.

5 For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.  

6 You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.  

7 May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.  

8 So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
