Psalm 73 Novels & Stories

'I-I didn't pray to God for this! Noticing the faint grimace on Julien's face and realizing that if she didn't control the situation well, Harrison might start suspecting something, Helena immediately adopted a serious tone and said, "Sir, don't be too surprised. Remember, in Matthew 7:7: 'Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.' This is the grace God gives to His believers!" She continued, "Even during the most difficult times in my life, I persisted in praying to God every day, and I used this scripture to encourage myself, reminding myself that God will never abandon me!"

I could see Papa's frown, the flicker of hope in Matteo's eyes, and the way the guards let out a collective sigh of relief. "Don't get any ideas. I haven't forgiven you." That one sentence seemed to crush all of Matteo's illusions. I looked at the long, smeared trail of blood left behind from where they had dragged Isabella away and chuckled. "I just think that a man should be left to die within the wreckage of his mistakes."

I couldn't even do anything other than watch my baby girl in pain! Nothing at all. " Nothing? That's not totally true, Joseph. You and I both know you can do something that will give you and your baby girl an utmost satisfaction. " The moment I heard that, I realized that I was getting misleading thoughts but just before I could counter it. Another voice spoke in my thoughts. " Joseph I am sure you recall what was written in Proverbs 3vs5? " " Oh yeah... I remember the verse said, " Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him and he shall direct your steps. "

He mentioned last night that he wanted to read it. Behind the sound of delicate pages being rolled between my fingers, I hear the loud trickling of water. His eyes are set on me and he makes himself comfortable, a smile spilling on his lips which I catch from the corner of my eye. “Isaiah, chapter 54, verse ten I wanna speak about...” “Yeah, sure.” “So it says, “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord who has compassion on you.”

I and Arthur took our seats and proceeded to listen to the Rev Father's sermon. He was preaching about happiness, and for some reason, it seemed like he was preaching to me in particular. "According to 1 Peter 5:7, 'Give all your worries and cares to the Lord, for he cares about you. Just as the Lord has said in Psalm 147:3- He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds, implying that he can heal all things." The Rev Father paused for a while to look at the congressional. "In Jeremiah 30, verse 17, he says he will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord."

~~~ “Surely, His goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord, forever, Amen.” Psalm 23 was a great comforter for Isabelle in times of distress. If the Bible wasn't close, these words, she knew by heart, were great substitutes. They did more than comfort her. They assured her safety and a great deal of bravery. She had been standing in the SS3 female restroom for a few minutes, reciting this psalm while pacing the room, her palms clapped together and pressed against her lips. Thankfully, the cleaners of the school always did a good job in keeping the bathroom stalls and the whole place sparkling clean.

“There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.” Please note, dear reader that the Bible verses are from Psalm 91. KJV was used here but other versions can also be used. To be continued... ++++++++ We are at the last leg of the story dear reader... Hopefully, you will be back here at the Supernatural Spa so you can read the last part of the tale. This is your Storyteller, The Diwata saying... Fare the

he says. I blink. “Read?” He nods toward the open Bible on the lectern. “Psalm 51. The Miserere. Aloud.” I hesitate only a second, then cross to the lectern. My fingers tremble as I turn the pages. The text swims for a moment before steadying. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love…” My voice is soft, unsteady at first. I feel him behind me—close now, just at my shoulder. Not touching, but near enough that the air between us hums.

A talking snake thank goodness, my mind hasn't left me, or the idiot is also planning to run away. "My dear heavenly Father," I prayed in my mind. My mind drifted to Nasir, who swore to Allah, and I wished he was here with me. Perhaps, he might help me. "Please, deliver me from the hand of this serpent, just like you promised in the book of Psalms." I can still remember the verse very well, where it says, "nothing bad will happen to you, and no plague will come close to your home. For he will entrust his angels with your protection in all your ways. They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, and you must trample t

Opening the sacred book, we turned to Psalm 22:3-15, a passage that spoke of trust in God's providence and deliverance in times of trouble.
