There are times when, like the psalmist, we feel pursured by enemies or surrounded by difficulties. Our enemy maybe financial trouble, ill health, that issue at work, or a person who misjudges or opposes us so that our "heart is in anguish". At this point have you been tempted to run away, retreat, or give up. But the Lord offers us something better. In this psalm, trials and problems cause us to cry out to him. Someone once said, "If you were swept off your feet, it's time to get on your knees." God encourages us to turn to him and call on him in our distress so that he can rescue us and keep us safe in the midst of the trouble. He may not immediately take us out of the situation, but he will guide us through the circumstances. He gives us a wonderful promise: If we give our burdens to him, he will take care of us and not allow us to slip and fall.
Lord, I give you every burden and concern I face today. And I thank you for your promise of care, provision and safety. You will not allow me to slip or fall. I will trust you because you are faithful forever to those who love you. I consider it a joy and privilege to be counted amoung the many who love you. Thank you for the freedom to ask for and recieve your help. In Jesus' name. Amen
