Reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
Rhesymau i gredu ym mhŵer y Beibl
'My wife has an auto-immune disease, Lupus, so when this all started, we knew she had to be so careful. I’d just come back from a business trip, and I had to self-isolate from her within the house for 12 days. I moved into the spare room. It was awful, awful. It was very difficult for a few weeks.
'We couldn’t take chances. But we’ve come through it and we have done well, all things considered.
'I read Psalm 91 when that was happening. That’s what I meditated on. It was a comfort. It kept me praying. I’m praying every day, all the time. The psalm has given me hope that there will be an end to this and that we need to trust God. We don’t know why these things are happening, but we have to trust God. That’s really reduced my anxiety.
'It’s easy to worry, about friends dying, getting sick, my children who have left home. But this psalm says that God does love us. That’s what I hang onto. Whenever I worry, I am drawn back to this psalm.'
‘Mae gan fy ngwraig glefyd awtoimiwn, Lupus, felly pan ddechreuodd hyn i gyd, roeddem yn gwybod bod yn rhaid iddi fod mor ofalus. Dwi newydd ddod yn ôl o drip busnes, a bu’n rhaid i mi hunan-ynysu oddi wrthi yn y tŷ am 12 diwrnod. Symudais i mewn i'r ystafell sbâr. Roedd yn ofnadwy, ofnadwy. Roedd yn anodd iawn am ychydig wythnosau.
'Ni allem gymryd unrhyw siawns. Ond rydyn ni wedi dod drwyddo ac rydyn ni wedi gwneud yn dda, wrth ystyried pob peth.
'Darllenais Salm 91 pan oedd hynny'n digwydd. Dyna beth wnes i fyfyrio arno. Roedd yn gysur. Fe wnaeth fy nghadw i weddïo. Rwy'n gweddïo bob dydd, trwy'r amser. Mae'r salm wedi rhoi gobaith i mi y bydd diwedd ar hyn a bod angen i ni ymddiried yn Nuw. Nid ydym yn gwybod pam mae'r pethau hyn yn digwydd, ond mae'n rhaid i ni ymddiried yn Nuw. Mae hynny wir wedi lleihau fy mhryder.
'Mae'n hawdd poeni, am ffrindiau'n marw, yn mynd yn sâl, fy mhlant sydd wedi gadael cartref. Ond mae'r salm hon yn dweud bod Duw yn ein caru ni. Dyna rwy’n dal gafael arno. Pryd bynnag byddaf yn poeni, byddaf yn cael fy nhynnu yn ôl at y salm hon.'
