My help is in the name of the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth
I am so grateful for knowing this verse (Ps. 121); I said it over and over in March, after my surgery for lung cancer, when I was struggling to breathe. Even going into the operating room, it seemed almost that the Holy Spirit Himself was saying that prayer within me, and it always brought me strength and calmness.
In the Book of Romans (8:26), Paul says, "The Holy Spirit Himself helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit prays within us with unutterable groanings...."
Hearing this prayer within my very being, I knew I had nothing to fear, and that my struggle to breathe would eventually get better. The Creator of heaven and earth was in charge of my life and my healing---what more did I need to know?
