Psalm 120:1~ In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.
The dictionary defines distress as extreme anxiety, sorrow or pain. As a person who suffers from anxiety, I can attest to the mental and emotional weariness it causes. I also know how it feel sorrow and pain and how debilitating it can be. Distress can feel like the walls are closing. You can feel trapped in a cycle that never ends, but there is hope. There is Jesus.
His word testifies to the fact that when we are distressed we can call to the Lord. Not only can we call to Him, but we can rest in the fact that He will answer. He will not leave us in a state of panic. He is our solution as He ushered in peace. God is good and He loves His children.
Life for me right now is hectic, there is always something to do. If feels overwhelming, but I choose to trust in God. The only wise God who sees me, hears me, and answers me. I choose to remember that I am not alone and my Father will never leave or forsake me.
Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Precious Father, thank You for being such a gracious God. Thank You for being available. Thank You for being near. Thank You for hearing my call and answering me. Thank You for coming through for me time and time again. You are magnificent and all together Holy. In Jesus name. Amen
