I found these words in Psalm 139::5 where it says “you hem me in – behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.”  (NIV).  In another version of the bible it says “you precede and follow me, and place your hand of blessing on my head.”  (Living Bible).  I love the words in verse 3 in this version “you chart the path ahead of me, and tell me where to stop and rest.  Every moment you know where I am.”  How we need words of hope in times of great distress. To know we are not alone.
