“Afflictions are the shadows of God’s wings.” George MacDonald
The sorrows of death compassed me,
and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
. . .
In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out of his temple,
and my cry came before him, even into his ears.Psalm 18:4, 6 AKJV
