Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight. (TPT)
— 詩篇:九十四19
因著無法掌控的環境、未知不定的將來、無法解決的問題、軟弱無助的自我、難與相處的旁人、所愛之人的受苦,我們常常是會『多憂多疑、Busy thoughts that out of control』、『憂慮重壓、Burdened with worries』、『焦慮充斥、Filled with anxiety』。在這樣的時候,我們是任憑自己自憂自慮,還是願意來到愛我們的父神面前。這詩人的經驗是,神的同在會帶來『紓解人心的安慰、Soothing comfort』、『安心穩妥的確信、Assuring security』、並『意想不到的喜樂、Unexpected joy and delight』,我們是否也願意來尋求、親近神呢⋯?
