challenge day 8: advice

The best advice you've ever received.

i never really thought about this question until i had to answer it. i suppose the answer would have to be that when you're starting to feel overwhelmed by the weight of the world, just go to sleep! i know that's super lame but it's true. this is the passage that i go to whenever i am weighed down by the weight of the world:

I have been deprived of peace; 

   I have forgotten what prosperity is. 

So I say, “My splendor is gone 
   and all that I had hoped from the LORD.”

I remember my affliction and my wandering, 
   the bitterness and the gall. 

I well remember them, 
   and my soul is downcast within me. 
Yet this I call to mind 

   and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, 

   for his compassions never fail. 

They are new every morning; 

   great is your faithfulness. 

I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; 

   therefore I will wait for him.”

The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, 
   to the one who seeks him; 

it is good to wait quietly 

   for the salvation of the LORD.
