i’ve never been more consumed with the emotional distress of others as i have been in the past two weeks.
i have no idea how God is still able to hear our prayers, answer them, and love us. it’s incredible for me to think that He is phased by everything, but it doesn’t suck out His energy or to toss everything aside and just let us all be consumed from the melting polar ice caps.

I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121
