Psalms 32:3, 10-11 CSB

[3] When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

...

[10]...but the one who trusts in the Lord will have faithful love surrounding him. 

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; 

shout for joy, 

all you upright in heart.

Psalms 32:3, 10-11 CSB

David had no way of testing the brittleness or otherwise of his bones any more than I do, but what his metaphor recognises is that our behaviour, emotions,  thoughts and physical well-being are connected. 

This is not some modern idea but one that was clear to David 3000 years ago...we are an embodied soul and completely connected.

And his pathway forward is found in v10 - trust in our God, and then our story, our circumstances, our thoughts, emotions, bodies, our well-being is "surrounded by Unfailing Love".

The redemptive strand is right here for us to cling to no matter what is in front of us today.
