It is Well

Today I will be questioned about everything I have ever done.

From the Book of Common Prayer for Ordinary Radicals January 4:
Song “It is Well with My Soul”

As I sit across from my questioner my anxiety is high.

Psalm 23 You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me: you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup runs over.

How will I ever be able to do this? I am not sure I can do it on my own.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

A text from a friend:
Gotcha.  “Be strong and courageous”.  Praying God goes before you and prepares your heart for the day.

It really is well with my soul.
