For ten years, while I was dealing with IBD and colon cancer, the Book of Psalms became my solace.
I realized pretty quickly that dwelling on being sick was just going to make things worse.
Instead, I found so much comfort and beauty in the Psalms, and it truly inspired me to put something positive out into the world.
Over three years, I heartfully picked out verses that truly felt like they had a healing power, and that’s how my book, Healing Verses of the Psalms, came to be.
Each verse in there means so much to me. I chose the King James Version of the Bible because, for me, its language is just incredibly beautiful.
Daily I continue to be touched by the verses in starting my day. Here are a few that may touch your heart as they do mine:
-
-
- “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” Psalm 119:165
- “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10
- “My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.” Psalm 49:3
- “Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness…” Psalm 112:4
-
