David wrote half of the psalms, and his poems are often inclusive of the challenges of the physical body: being sick, getting wounded, aging. “Yet you heard my voice, my cry for mercy, when I pleaded with you for help” (Ps 31:23).
Take a moment today and reflect on how God’s light has been there for you or your loved ones during these times of distress.
