The singer and fashion designer then quote a passage from Psalm 34: ‘The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.’
Simpson went on to mention how she’s had a number of ‘prayerful moments in these last few weeks of uncertainty,’ and that it’s been those moments that ‘I feel true peace and pure connection to hope.’
‘After weeks of quarantine, I have found my quiet place. I urge everyone to cause yourself to let go, be silent with listening ears toward God.’
Simpson again turned to the bible and shared: Lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct your path, from Proverb 3:6.
