Favorite scripture passage …

We have many tools available to us as we practice a healthy and growing spirituality all of the time throughout our journey of life. However, there are passages of scripture that become personal favorites that inspire us and bring us peace. I think that’s especially true during such times of anxiety and stress as we are experiencing now with Covid 19.

The passage of scripture I go to at times like this is Psalm 23. One reason for that is I know it from memory. As well, it has provided comfort during significant moments throughout my life, especially when I remember it being read at my grandmother’s funeral years ago and at my father’s as well. It summarizes all I need to pray for in that moment … acknowledging first the significance of my relationship with God … laying my need before God … finally the assurance of God’s blessing upon me throughout the whole of my life and beyond too.
