The hardest times in our lives are when we're put through trials. We all know we're tested, pushed to our limits. Sometimes it seems that we might not make it through. It seems too hard, too much to handle.
It is in these times that we need to reach out to God for help. We typically go to everyone else for support before we think of going to God. We should go to him first, for he will help us and guide us. But that can be hard to do. We feel as if the world is coming down on us, everything is upside down. How will we ever make it through?
"The Lord looks down from heaven, he sees all the children of man, from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, he who fashions the heart of them all and observes all their deeds... Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may DELIVER their soul from death and keep the alive in famine... For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you." Psalms 33:13-15, 21-22.
"Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord." Psalms 32:10
"When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of their troubles. The Lord is near to the broken hearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Psalms 34:17-18
"In my distress I called upon the Lord, to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears... He rode on a cherub and flew, he came swiftly on the wings of the wind." Psalms 18:6,10
"Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful for my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by." Psalms 57:1-2
If we trust in him, he will take care of us. Never lose hope, for there is always light in the darkness.
