Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in
the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, until the destroying storms pass by.
(Psalm 57.1
NRSV)
I read once about a grandmother, celebrating her golden wedding anniversary. She told the
secret of her long and happy marriage. "On my wedding day," she said, "I decided to make a
list of ten faults which, for the sake of our marriage, I would overlook in my new husband." A
friend asked her to tell some of those faults. The grandmother replied, "To tell you the truth, I
never did get around to listing them. Whenever my husband did something, though, that made
me hopping mad, I would say to myself, 'Lucky for him that's one of the ten!'"
How do you handle the storms of your life? God is there to help you to respond in love.
Lord Jesus, you have suffered much for me. Help me to weather the storms of my life with
love. Amen.
