Wait for the LORD!

1. The LORD is my light and my savlation;
who, shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
2. When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3. Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall no fear;
though war arise against me,
yet I will be confident.
4. For one thing I asked of the LORD,
that I will seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to inquire in his temple.
5. For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me up high upon a rock.
6. And now my head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
7. Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
8. You have said "seek my face"
My heart says to to,
"your face, LORD, do I seek."
9. Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
O God of my salvation!
10. For my father and mother have
forsaken me,
but the LORD will take me in.
11. Teach me your way, O LORD,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
12. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they breathe out violence.
13. I believe that I shall look upon the
goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living!
14. Wait for the LORD;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD!

The verses in bold speak to me a lot but the entire psalm is the cry of my heart today!!

I came across this passage today and I thought of you:

"I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me, freeing me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. I cried out to the Lord in my suffering, and he heard me. He set me free from all my fears. For the angel of the Lord guards all who fear him, and he rescues them." Psalm 34:4-7

I love you guys and am praying that God's plan for you in all of this will be shown!
