“ A hostile world! We call to God. We cry to God to help us. From his palace he hears our calls: our cries bring us right into his presence- a private audience! He catches us- reaches all the way from sky to sea, he pulls us out from that ocean of hate, from the enemy chaos, from the voids in which we were drowning. God puts us in a broad place a broad safe place in which to stand.” Psalm 18 The Message (paraphrased)
