I know you are. So am I.

 

Facing a mountain? Everybody is.

 

I’m a cancer patient, just starting my third fight in five years. My situation is so unique that MD Anderson has no proven protocol . Sure we have hope, but nothing hard – as if science and odds were ever hard.

 

You, too, have a mountain. Maybe you’re mad about it. I get it, it’s not fair. Maybe you’re not talking about it. Not looking at it. Not even admitting it’s there, but it is. 

 

That’s the human condition.

 

Run to Psalms 23. On it, hang so many of God’s promises!

 

King David, inspired by the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, wrote:

 

The Lord is my shepherd;

I have all that I need.

He lets me rest in green meadows;

He leads me beside peaceful streams.

He renews my strength.

He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.

Even when I walk through the darkest valley,

I will not be afraid for you a close beside me.

Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.

You honor me by anointing my head with oil,

My cup overflows with blessings.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me

All the days of my life,

And I will live in the house of the Lord forver.

 

-Psalms 23
