As I'm fairly new to reading the bible I have stumbled upon a verse all my self and it's my new favorite
If you are stressed or hurting
Psalm 86
A prayer of David.
1 Hear, O LORD, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2 Guard my life, for I am devoted to you.
You are my God; save your servant
who trusts in you.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to your servant,
for to you, O Lord,
I lift up my soul.
5 You are forgiving and good, O Lord,
abounding in love to all who call to you.
6 Hear my prayer, O LORD;
listen to my cry for mercy.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call to you,
for you will answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, O Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths of the grave. [a]
14 The arrogant are attacking me, O God;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life—
men without regard for you.
15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;
grant your strength to your servant
and save the son of your maidservant. [b]
17 Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
Ok- I've been struggling....after treatment I seem to be walking on a tight rope! I'm either happy to be here or sad. I love that I have the opportunity to take Tamoxifen to fight my cancer, but it's side effects bother me sometimes. I find it hard to lose weight and in the morning my joints hurt some more than other like my shoulders to the point where I can't lift my arm and flushing the toilet even hurts. These are all a small price to pay, but I still compare the new me with the old me! SO then I slack on taking my Tamoxifen and actually I felt a bit better- BUT it's bad to not take it. The Tamoxifen is blocking my estrogen which is important since my tumor was positive for estrogen- AND now I'm bleeding like the beginning of a period so I'm scared to death that I really screwed things up! Or maybe the Tamoxifen isn't working for me- which can happen. I'm so mad at myself- I counted my pills and I skipped taking my Tamoxifen at least 6 times this past month. What's wrong with me- I guess it's normal- my feelings of sadness. Family and friends are so happy to have me back, but I'm not back. I know they want me to lose weight, but sometimes fighting weight reminds me more of my cancer when I would really like to forget the whole thing and just live like everyone else. I know - feeling sorry for myself a bit. I'm more trying to figure out what my problem is that I can't get going on the changes I need to make- I've stalled out. So I'm thinking I'm going to blame it on my house and how messy it is- Maybe I need a project other than myself.LOL
Gee what a rant. All that just to explain my love for Psalm 86!
So what else I'm digging...mostly things that make me feel good inside:
