Cry out to God

 “When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles” (Psalm 34:17, ESV).

Sometimes life feels like its moving too fast.   As a teacher I deal with over a hundred personalities, needs, and wants. It can feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders.  Reading newspaper headlines does not help, so much chaos and confusion in the world. I get overwhelmed.  Life is good and I know it, but I still feel like I'm drowning.  What do I do?  I cry out to God.

I cry out to my Creator and Father who cares about every detail of my life.  I cry out to the source of my strength.  I have faith in the God that sees me and hears me and count on Him to deliver me.  I trust in Him to see me through as He has done countless times before.

I cry out for love, love that will flow between neighbors and strangers alike.  I cry out for peace and wholeness.  I cry out for deliverance and remain hopeful in the God for whom all things are possible(Mathew 19:26).  I trust Him to direct my path for He is good and He is good to me. I seek His presence and find comfort like no other for He is God; my God.  I remember Jesus.  I say His name and am home.

Lord, thank You for hearing me and delivering me out of all my troubles.  Thank You for delivering from distress and stress.  Thank You for your peace that passes all understanding.  Thank You for being God.  In Jesus name I pray. Amen
