Fantastic Friday #897 - Distressed

Distress

1 I call on the Lord in my distress,
and he answers me.
2 Save me, Lord,
from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues. Psalm 120:1-2

Do you find yourself constantly looking for answers, answers that don't seem to come when you want them to? When we pray to God for answers, He hears us and does want the best for us. However, there are times when God wants us to work through our problems and concerns with His guidance, and not with Him fixing everything for us. Some of you may ask, why doesn't God hear me when I cry out to Him, or in my distress and lowest point. God does hear us and He will answer us in all of our points in life and requests. We can't get caught up in the deceitfulness of the enemy telling us He will never answer us, because that is not in the character of God. Now, the answer may be "wait" or "not yet", but at least we know He is listening and helping us daily. So if you are in distress, at a low point, continue to cry out to God, for He is there and knows your heart. He will provide guidance in all circumstances on His timeline and not yours. So, don't be worried about the answer that comes, but take it and move forward. Move out of your distress into a feeling of joy and wait for the answer to come.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
