Psalm 63: 5-8
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
when I think of you on my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.

Reflection:
The title of this psalm is “A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” We can only imagine the isolation and affliction that David felt. Even though it was a time of adversity, grief, and loneliness, he never lost faith. He sought out God’s love and praised him. “For you have been my help.” This reminds me that no matter the heartache, challenges, and despair we face in our own lives, God never leaves us. In those moments of pain, lean into God’s grace and his love will be light that leads us through the darkness.

Prayer:
I lift my hands to praise you. Thank you for all the blessings you have given me. My soul is filled with your unconditional love. Continue to be with me always and be my strength. Amen.
