There aren’t really any words to express the feelings/emotions of that day or what we are currently going through currently, but I find Psalm 46 to give me hope and peace.

Psalm 46

God is our (B)refuge and strength,

(C)A[a] very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the [b]midst of the sea;

(D)Though its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

There is a (E)river whose streams shall make glad the (F)city of God,

The holy place of the [c]tabernacle of the Most High.

God is (G)in the midst of her, she shall not be [d]moved;

God shall help her, just [e]at the break of dawn.

(H)The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;

He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

The (I)Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Come, behold the works of the Lord,

Who has made desolations in the earth.

(J)He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

(K)He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;

(L)He burns the chariot in the fire.

10 

Be still, and know that I am God;

(M)I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!

11 

The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Psalm 46:10 to close us out taking a knee……

“Be still and know that I am God”…………….”Be still and know that I AM”…………..”Be still and know”…..……………………..”Be still”……Amen
