Thy Comforts Delight My Soul

The Storm

This psalm names multitude of thoughts directly, worth holding as honest acknowledgment of genuinely racing, multiplying anxious thought, not denied or minimized, but named honestly as this psalm’s own actual, present condition, worth recognizing in your own experience of anxious, multiplying mental activity.

Notice thy comforts delight my soul, the specific response named, not the multitude of thoughts first ceasing entirely, circumstances first calming, but comforts arriving and delighting even in the midst of this continued multitude, worth holding as available even while anxious thought continues, not only after it fully stops.

This is worth examining against however much you have waited for anxious thoughts to fully cease before expecting any genuine comfort, rather than this psalm’s own model, comfort delighting the soul specifically within the multitude, not requiring the multitude to first, entirely resolve before comfort can actually be received.

Whatever multitude of thoughts currently occupies your own mind, ask today for his comforts specifically within this multitude, not waiting for the thoughts to fully cease first, trusting this psalm’s own model that genuine delight and comfort can arrive even while anxious, multiplying thought genuinely, honestly continues.
