hope.

Why are you downcast, o my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.

Psalm 43:5

this is a verse that i hold on to when i start to get stressed or feel overwhelmed. i just love how it's sort of like a conversation with yourself. "why are you stressed? hope in God, duh." i don't know. i just feel like it's one of those things that should be a lot easier than it is sometimes - hope in God. it's that easy. and yes, it should be. i just find myself having to have that conversation with myself to often when i wish that it was more natural. i will say, though, that i am learning, and it's starting to become more of an instinct :)

currently listening to: nothing.
