My brain is sometimes crowded with disquieting thoughts. It’s a racket in there! These thoughts keep me awake at night and make it difficult for me to concentrate on anything else during the day. There are so many of them. And they are all shouting for my attention. They are telling me I should be afraid. They are encouraging me to worry. They fill me with a sense of foreboding.
But right there … right in the middle of all that distress … is His comfort. Because that’s where His comfort is….”in the multitude of my anxieties within me”.
His comfort is the strength that allows me to overcome my fears and worries. His quiet reassurance within me prevails over the noise of the anxiety. His peace overpowers the disturbance within me. He sets me free from distress, and I am instead captivated by His consolation.
“In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.” Psalm 94:19
