Psalm 20;1-5 (AMP)
“May the Lord answer you (David) in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high [and defend you in battle]! 2 May He send you help from the sanctuary (His dwelling place) And support and strengthen you from Zion! 3 May He remember all your meal offerings And accept your burnt offering. Selah. 4 May He grant you your heart’s desire And fulfill all your plans. 5 We will sing joyously over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.”
Have you ever been in a tough situation and wonder how you can get out of it? Maybe what might be my next steps to move forward. Children can seek their parents during tough times but what do adults do?
Worry is a negative response that does nothing but allow us to worry more. Prayer on the other hand can help clam our fears and concerns. The inner storms can be calmed by looking to the Lord for our hope.
Jesus talks a great deal about prayer:
- When you pray (Matt. 6:5)
- But when you pray (Matt. 6:6)
- You should always pray and not give up (Luke 18:1)
God wants us to seek him through devotion to prayer, to pray without ceasing, to pray boldly with God who loves to answer our prayers.
The next time something comes up rather than worry turn it ove to God, relax let Him work.
God Bless.
