Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills,
From where is my help to come?
My help comes from the Lord,
The maker of heaven and earth.
From The Psalter of the Book of Common Prayer 1979

The psalm is one of comfort and encouragement, and has been
one of my go-to psalms when I need assurance of God's presence and
protection. Years ago, I made myself a
pocket card so I can carry these words with me.
When I'm faced with a particularly daunting challenge, I am reminded
of God's presence in the form of these words.
They are, simultaneously, a warm blanket (The Bible is not a "warm
fuzzies" book – be glad when you do find a warm, fuzzy section.) and
strong armor, preparing me to meet whatever trials I may encounter.
Do you find comfort and strength in the Psalms? Which ones speak to you?
