Fantastic Friday #234-Distress

Distress

¹ May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

² May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.

³ May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.
Selah

⁴ May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.

⁵ We will shout for joy when you are victorious
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the LORD grant all your requests.

⁶ Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he answers him from his holy heaven
with the saving power of his right hand.

⁷ Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

⁸ They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.

⁹ O LORD, save the king!
Answer us when we call! Psalm 20

What feelings and emotions have you had this week? Did your feelings run the flagpole from being firmly grounded, to flapping in the wind with no way to understand your direction? When reviewing an old email from my friend Kevin today, he reminded me that Lord is the true One to provide inspiration and relief. I often wonder why we forget that God knows the desires of our heart. Whatever distress that is in your heart, you must know that God will send help for you. So all of those emotions and feelings we tend to suppress, we should probably release those to the Lord who always answers when we call. We just have to be careful not to wait for an answer we are expecting but wait in expectation for the answer which He will provide.

Have great weekend.
