God is SHE/God is THEY Psalms

Psalm 107

1. O give thanks unto the Lord, for They are good: for Their mercy endureth for ever.
2. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom They have redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3. And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and They delivered them out of their distresses.
7. And They led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8. Oh that people would praise the Lord for Their goodness, and for Their wonderful works to the children of humanity!
9. For They satisfy the longing soul, and fill the hungry soul with goodness.
10. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11. Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12. Therefore They brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and They saved them out of their distresses.
14. They brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15. Oh that people would praise the Lord for Their goodness, and for Their wonderful works to the children of humanity!
16. For They have broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17. Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and They save them out of their distresses.
20. They sent Their word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21. Oh that people would praise the Lord for Their goodness, and for Their wonderful works to the children of humanity!
22. And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare Their works with rejoicing.
23. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24. These see the works of the Lord, and Their wonders in the deep.
25. For They command, and raise the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunkard, and are at their wit's end.
28. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and They bring them out of their distresses.
29. They make the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so They bring them unto their desired haven.
31. Oh that people would praise the Lord for Their goodness, and for Their wonderful works to the children of humanity!
32. Let them exalt Them also in the congregation of the people, and praise Them in the assembly of the elders.
33. They turn rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34. A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35. They turn the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36. And there They make the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37. And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38. They bless them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffer not their cattle to decrease.
39. Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40. They pour contempt upon nobles, and cause them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41. Yet set They the poor on high from affliction, and make their families like a flock.
42. The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop its mouth.
43. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

Read this Psalm, concentrating on Verse 28 and know that God assists in "bringing them out of their distresses."

The way to help an alcoholic is to help yourself. Take your destiny into your own hands, and do not allow a sick person suffering with the disease of alcoholism to control your life. Let go of the impossible task of controlling another's life, and pray sincerely. - Power of the Psalms, by Anna Riva
