Didn't need to set my alarm clock.
When I awoke, I realized I had slept
Eleven hours.
A passage from the Psalms soothed me:
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and
Saves those who are crushed in spirit." *
Still under my covers I prayed the verse for
Becky,
And for the family in our church who just
Lost their daughter,
And for my friend whose son was
Diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.
I prayed the verse for all those who are
Hurting this day before Thanksgiving.
I prayed the verse for me.
*Psalm 34:18
