Sometimes the word of God is the best friend you can have, because it always says the right thing. You know that it will be both honest and encouraging. It will always point you in the right direction, and it is always faithful. In times of sorrow there may not be anywhere better to rest than in the Psalms. Over and over again they have become my prayers. They are prayers for deliverance, for repentance, for comfort and much more. If you find yourself in need, you can find your refuge in the Lord and in his word. It truly is good.
Psalm 119:25-32
25 I am laid low in the dust;
preserve my life according to your word.
26 I recounted my ways and you answered me;
teach me your decrees.
27 Let me understand the teaching of your precepts;
then I will meditate on your wonders.
28 My soul is weary with sorrow;
strengthen me according to your word.
29 Keep me from deceitful ways;
be gracious to me through your law.
30 I have chosen the way of truth;
I have set my heart on your laws.
31 I hold fast to your statutes, O LORD;
do not let me be put to shame.
32 I run in the path of your commands,
for you have set my heart free.
