This scripture was "mine" when I was sick and in hospital in June 05, and then when I and went into hospital for a while in March 06 and experienced my near-death experience in the hospital, as well as my "recovery" so that I was able to have a scheduled hysterectomy in May 06. I was given this scripture from a dear friend named Bert - who recited it to me, prayed with me and also shared his story about healing with me. It has become one of my favorite portions. I also just remembered that when I was in Youth Group, we used to sing this psalm, and it was called BLESS THE LORD. Maybe this will be the song on my mind as I head off to bed! Lord you are so good!
Psalm 103 (New International Version)
Of David. 1 Praise the LORD, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the LORD, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
