more on dealing with... stirred up...

The teaching on praying with another who struggles... and seeing it as a  way of dealing with a stirred up heart... is pretty basic... 

I wonder... Why didn't I think of it myself...? how did I forget...?

Stirred up emotions... make us forgetful...

they fuel doubt... and distract from what we know...

Thankful for the reminder...

the practice of praying has begun...

and already... peace... begins to still my heart...

The practice of blessing Him...

by remembering His blessings...

through prayers of praise...

the best way to deal with... a stirred up soul...

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me,

bless his holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,

who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns your life with steadfast love and mercy,

who satisfies you with good

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 103:1-5 ESV

Soul... bless the Lord...

remember His benefits...

let Him still your heart...

through prayers of praise...
