I cannot even comprehend living my daily life without God. He is such a part of everything I do. I find myself praying nearly constantly, I never even think about it. When I was little I never understood the words to the song that goes “Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way /Every moment of the day, it is the right time”. It just was too hard for me to wrap my mind around. Didn’t you have to bow your head and close your eyes to pray? Now it’s such a part of me...I feel like I’m constantly conversing with the Lord. And that’s how I like it.

We just finished finals week at school. Many people were panicking and stressing and cramming until early morning. I admit, I got a bit frantic at times. Biology just doesn’t completely make sense to me all the time (glycolosis, the Krebs cycle, the Calvin cycle...I don’t know what the difference is or even what they are!), but at the same time I felt a calming presence always near me. This just bewilders me sometimes: I can’t even grasp the concept, but I also can’t imagine attempting to live without God always being there. Seriously, take a minute to think of how patient the Lord must really have to be! I know I’m certainly not cooperative and understanding and patient, and probably less than I should be at that. But God sticks around and never gives up on me even when I do. If I didn’t have someone I could always lean on and depend on, I don’t know how I would survive. I couldn’t. It’s that simple.

I love Psalms in general, but there are a few verses that this week just really spoke to me.

Here are a few other tidbits I found that are just so powerful to me now I couldn’t keep them to myself:
