Hosea

"Come let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us. He has injured us, but he will bind up our wounds. As surely as the sun rises he will come."

I think of all the passages of scripture this year this one has helped me get through the most. Earlier today I had a little breakdown. I think the stress of everything around finals and the chaoticness (i don't think that's even a word) of my life just got to me I guess. Anyway, I went to the prayer lounge in Moyer, which is where I go on rainy days to get some sanity and some space for reflection, and was reading over the Moyer prayer journal. I actually write in it a lot and it was interesting to see the progression from last to this year, and even more so all my thoughts this year. Halfway through my crying I came across an entry I had written last quarter when group was studying Hosea and I had written this verse down in it. I had forgotten how powerful it was and how much it rang true to me until I sat there trying to calm myself down. God is faithful and he will be there...He will come.
