"For he who pities them leads them and guides them beside springs of water."
Is it not a wonderful thing that the Lord pities us by leading us beside springs of water or places of spiritual refreshment?
We experience God's pity and spiritual renewal in prayer, which is why it is so important that we bring all the movements of our inner life to him. Throughout the day, our souls experience various emotions. Some of these like anxiety, anger, greed, and lust not only weigh on the soul and cause it to feel empty and agitated, but can also draw us from God and lead us to commit grave sin. Taking these emotions to the Lord can remove the emptiness and agitation, and keep us from committing sin.
Our God pities us because he loves us. Let us bring our emotions to him, so we can experience the refreshment his love brings.
