A Psalm

 

Let’s be honest.  People everywhere are afraid, depressed and angry.  I am among them.  Isolated, under-appreciated, worried.

We blame politicians for how they are handling a worldwide crisis, we blame foreigners because we can, we blame our neighbors for being selfish and stupid, and we take it out on everyone around us including those we love.  It is showing up in increased outbursts, mental health issues, suicides and public demonstrations.  We crave love, and get rage.  We live for feel-good stories, which are few and far between, and while moving, they don’t change much.

The world is out of control and I (control freak) can’t do anything about it.

But wait…

·       God is in control

·       God does love us

·       God is the comforter

This is where it gets real, and hard – leaning into these truths and finding joy. 

Working on it.
