Deep Words of Deep Trust

Psalm 51:1-18(19-20); Psalm 69:1-23
Jeremiah 12:1-16; Philippians 3:1-14; John 12:9-19
Psalm 23

Today's mediation from Henri Nouwen reflects on Psalm 23 and states "The deeper these words enter into the center of by being, the more I become part of God's people and the better I understand what it means to be in the world without being of it."

For me, Psalm 23 is one of a number of passages that helps me enter more deeply into being part of God's people. One of them is Jeremiah 12:5 where God challenges Jeremiah and his strength with words of powerful promise. (Here is a book that expands the mediation if you're interested).

What words help you experience deeper trust of God?
