Psalm 46:2
God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.

If you’re like me you call on God almost automatically when confronted with trouble. I remember vividly the phone call from the hospital in the middle of the night several years ago with a voice telling me that my father was dying and that I needed to come immediately. I remember driving down the highway the short distance to the hospital invoking God’s name over and over to be with my dad. I was totally focused on the present moment…which seems to be the case when we are ever confronted by such a distressing situation. I had no doubt that God was indeed with my dad…my mom who was at his bedside…and me. God is always as keenly present to us…if we’d only awaken fully to the sacred now.
