He will restore you, if you call on Him. He really will.<\/p>\n<p>You should really <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm+23\" target=\"_blank\">read all of Psalm 23<\/a> if you can. It&#8217;s just a gorgeous passage, and not just for funerals. It&#8217;s great for every day.<\/p>\n<h3>Prayer:<\/h3>\n<p>Lord, I love this entire passage. You sharing it with me was beautifully comforting. Thank you so much for that. I also saw a touch of humor in there, which I will cherish all day long.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for caring enough to know I could use a little soothing and thank you for offering that to me. Today and tomorrow (and hopefully always), should\u00a0I feel myself start to get frazzled, I will remind myself of Psalm 23.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good morning from San Francisco!
