I know firs...May God grant her peace and patience! I know first hand that the pace of exams, tests, and answers in a hospital never seems to match that which we would prefer. God be with you all.<br /><br />I waited patiently for the LORD;<br />And He inclined to me and heard my cry. <br />He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,<br />And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. <br />He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;<br />Many will see and fear<br />And will trust in the LORD. <br />How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust,<br />And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood. <br />Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done,<br />And Your thoughts toward us;<br />There is none to compare with You <br />If I would declare and speak of them,<br />They would be too numerous to count. <br />Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;<br />My ears You have opened;<br />Burnt offering and sin offering You have not require.<br />Then I said, "Behold, I come;<br />In the scroll of the book it is written of me. <br />I delight to do Your will, O my God;<br />Your Law is within my heart." <br />I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation;<br />Behold, I will not restrain my lips,<br />O LORD, You know. <br />I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;<br />I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation;<br />I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation. <br />You, O LORD, will not withhold Your compassion from me;<br />Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me. <br />For evils beyond number have surrounded me;<br />My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;<br />They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,<br />And my heart has failed me. <br />Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me;<br />Make haste, O LORD, to help me. <br />Let those be ashamed and humiliated together<br />Who seek my life to destroy it;<br />Let those be turned back and dishonored<br />Who delight in my hurt. <br />Let those be appalled because of their shame<br />Who say to me, "Aha, aha!" <br />Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;<br />Let those who love Your salvation say continually,<br />"The LORD be magnified!”<br />Since I am afflicted and needy,<br />Let the Lord be mindful of me.<br />You are my help and my deliverer;<br />Do not delay, O my God.<br />~Psalm 40 (NASB)Myrtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431258817722884616noreply@blogger.com
