Answers to our distress

Marsha’s meditation on Answers to our distress

Scripture:

May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the Name of the God of Jacob protect you. 

Psalm 20:1

Meditation:

We all have days when things don’t go as we expected, days when we need an attitude adjustment, days when the problems of the world seem overwhelming - basically, we have days of distress. Who do we turn to when we are in distress? The God of Jacob is also the God of you and He is always listening to those who call upon Him. He will answer us and protect us. When we put our trust in Him those things that cause us distress become His problems and His Spirit will help us deal with our troubles. Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world.”

Prayer:

Dear God of Jacob and me, I thank You that I can call out to You in my distress. Whatever distress I may be experiencing I know that I can depend on You to protect me. You are bigger than any problem I face and I praise You for helping me to be an overcomer. Thank You! Amen
