Lord, when my soul is weary and my heart is tired and sore, and I have that failing feeling that I can't take any more; then let me know the freshening found in simple, childlike prayer, when the kneeling soul knows surely that a listening Lord is there.
- Ruth Bell Graham

1 Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
who walks in his ways!
2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.
3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots around your table.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the LORD.
5 The LORD bless you from Zion!
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life!
6May you see your children’s children!
Peace be upon Israel!
Psalm 13 English Standard Version
