I came a cross these encouraging verses today:
Psalm 62: 5-6
Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
I especially love the NIV version because it says : my soul find rest in God...my hope comes from him. This reminds me of what my pastor told me recently that we (humans) are souls with bodies, not bodies with soul.
I find it very interesting when David in Psalm 62 uses the word 'soul'. During this hard time of dealing with miscarriage, I feel like my soul needs more healing than my body.
Today, after an ultrasound, my OB told me that my womb is returning to its normal size and I will be fully recovered by next week. Then, I began to ponder (and half wishing) if only my soul (read: emotional state) would be fully recovered by next week too...

But Jesus is really GREAT and FAITHFUL!! He led me to check my blackberry only to find verses from Psalm 62:5-6 :)

Those verses led me to another lovely song called "I will not be shaken" by Jadon Lavik.
(I often find it very easy to connect to God through singing and reading psalms)
I thought I'd share the video and the lyrics of this song.
I pray that you may also be blessed through this song :)
My soul finds rest in You
My fortress and my rock
My hope for life my hiding place
My refuge and my God
My fortress and my rock
My hope for life my hiding place
My refuge and my God
In You I’ve found my home
My shelter from the storm
And I’ll pour out my heart to You
And lean upon Your throne
My shelter from the storm
And I’ll pour out my heart to You
And lean upon Your throne
I will put my trust in You
I will put my hope there, too
I will stand upon Your word
And I will not be shaken
I will put my hope there, too
I will stand upon Your word
And I will not be shaken
I will let my praises show
Holding on to what I know
Because I know You’re always there
And I will not be shaken
I will not be shaken
(Repeat)
Holding on to what I know
Because I know You’re always there
And I will not be shaken
I will not be shaken
(Repeat)
I will not be moved
I’m leaning on the throne
Because You died for me
And called me to Your own
And even when the strongest winds begin to blow
I’m leaning on the throne
Because You died for me
And called me to Your own
And even when the strongest winds begin to blow
I will stand my ground
I will not be moved
I will not be shaken
I will not be moved
I will not be shaken

After all these encouragement... I am not half wishing anymore...
I have faith that God will eventually heal my soul but for now...
I will put my hope and my trust in HIM and...
I will not be shaken (by HIS grace)
