Psalm 23:5-6 – You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole life long.
It is Tuesday afternoon in Orlando and I am writing this while at #NatCon15, the annual conference of the National Council for Behavioral Health. While in a shuttle bus, I heard a loud horn blaring to my left. I looked up and saw a woman who was asking for money on the side of road begin to tear up. She walked behind a tree and collapsed on the ground crying. I had no idea what the driver did in addition to honking, but I was nearly moved to tears myself. I then sat down to write the prayer for Wednesday morning. I read these words of scripture, and I hoped she knew the 23rd Psalm.
God of ALL of us, may everyone feeling lost and alone today feel your presence in their lives even when we do the best we can to shut those same people out of our lives. Amen.
