123rd PSALM - When I was age 17, I attempted to kill myself by taking a half bottle of pills. High School Youth Group leader at our church. I had this plan all worked out: I'd take the pills, open my Bible, and read "The Lord is my Shepherd..." until I became unconscious and peacefully slipped into oblivion.
But the Lord had other ideas for my life.
I took the pills and opened the Bible, but the only psalm He allowed me to turn to, time after time, was the ONE HUNDRED TWENTY THIRD. In the end, I panicked and phoned a friend, who called 911.
