Are there particular scripture verses you recall in moments of anxiety or distress? Psalm 71 may be one of those passages: "In you, O LORD, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me and save me. Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress." The Psalms offer us reminders of both God's good works, care, and power. May they bring you some reassurance when needed. #Psalms #Psalm71 #Scripture #Bible #UnitedMethodist (fb)
