Full of Troubles

1 Min Read

“O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my cry; For my soul is full of troubles; and my life draweth nigh unto the grave” (Psalm 88:1-3, in the King James Version of the Holy Bible).

Trouble seems to be everywhere I turn. I feel like I can’t cope with one more difficult situation. What should I do? I must learn to take my trouble to God. He knows the way I take. He knows how to handle any situation. Maybe you are in an overwhelming circumstance today. Call on God. He will answer. Prayer is the only place to go when you are full of troubles. Take your troubles to Him and leave them at His feet. You’re not alone; God is right there with you.

Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for listening to me and calming my spirit. I am so glad that I can call on You at any time. You do hear me!

Precious Lessons

2 Mins Read

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

How many times have we heard, “Why didn’t He help me sooner?” It is not His order. He must first adjust you to the trouble and cause you to learn from it. God’s promise is, “I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.” He must be with you in the trouble day and night, and then He will take you out of it. This doesn’t come until you have stopped fretting and have become calm and quiet. Then He will say, “It is enough.”

God uses trouble to teach His children precious lessons. They are intended to educate us. There is a sweet joy and real value in them. He doesn’t regard them as difficulties, but as opportunities.

Not always OUT of our troublous times,
And the struggles fierce and grim,
But IN – deeper IN –
To our sure rest,
The place of our peace, in Him.

by Annie Johnson Flint

Prayer: Mighty God, I feel as though You are putting me through a time of testing and I don’t want to miss the lesson You want me to learn. I take You at Your Word. Let my life prove that Your promises are always fulfilled! Amen.

My Safe Place

1 Min Read

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1 in the King James Version of the Bible)

God may not rescue us immediately from our trial, but we must understand that He has a greater purpose in mind. We can rest secure in the peace that He gives us right here; right now in the middle of our storm. Let’s determine in our heart to always run to Him in times of distress, in times of difficulty and in times of despair.

Prayer: You are the strength of my life. I bless you, O Lord, for being my refuge.
