Psalm 42:8 By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me—a prayer to the God of my life.
Link here for a musical reflection Psalm 42 by Rev'd Paul Collings
You stand by me through waking day
And whilst I sleep, you with me stay.
You ease my mind by your accord
With love songs lilt my soul restore.
Such gracious love in me applied
As through my prayer I seek your guide,
That through my life your channelled love
Comes here to me as gentle dove.
I too would be like thirsty deer
And seek refreshment as I near
The living waters of your grace,
And there drink freely at that place.
The place you have prepared for me
To slake my thirst that I might be
Refreshed, renewed and there to find
A refuge sure of nobler kind.
Lord plunge me ‘neath the water deep
And there to find, that though I weep,
A deeper cleansing of my soul
Where love unspeakable makes whole.
“. . . it is presumptuous in me to wish to choose my path, because I cannot tell which path is best for me. I must leave it to the Lord, Who knows me, to lead me by the path which is best for me, so that in all things His will may be done.”
― Teresa of Ávila, Interior Castle
