I Have Received an Answer to My Prayers

Elaine said "no".

That is the only answer I need. I have prayed long and hard to God to help me win Elaine's heart but the answer I received was negative. Just the same, it is an answer to my prayers. Just the same, it is the only answer I need.

No more uncertainty.

Surprisingly, it was painless. Maybe I've already paid my toll in pain long ago.

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
