But
In My Distress
I
Cried Out To The Lord;
Yes,
I Prayed To My God For Help.
Scripture
Psalm
18
1 I
love you, Lord;
you are my strength.
you are my strength.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety.
Observation
I
just found out that one of the men in our men's small group got laid
off from his job this past week.
It made me sad when I heard this
from him.
He loved what he did and he took his job very seriously. He
took pride in doing a very good job. As I read Psalm 18 I immediately
thought of my friend and his difficult situation.
So I am writing
this and I hope that he will take time to read this blog. Psalm 18 is
a great Psalm for my friend to read and to hold on to as he cries out
to God for help.
Of course, I can think of a lot of other scriptures
that my friend can hold on to while he waits on God to show him what
his next job will be.
Maybe you can think of some verses that would
be helpful for him too. If You put a verse in the comment section and
I will make sure that he sees them.
Philippians
4:6-7,19
Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what
you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything
we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you
live in Christ Jesus. … And
this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from
his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Romans
8:28
28
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good
of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for
them.
Application
I
will pray for my friend, asking my God to supply him with just the
right job to be able to take care of his family.
How
about you? Who are you praying for?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I pray for my friend and I ask that you provide a job for him
that will take care of his family. I pray that he finds one close to
where he lives so he doesn't have to travel out of town to work. Show
him that he can depend and trust in You. May this be a time of
spiritual growth for he and his wife.
I
pray for others that are going through difficult times. Help them to
remember that “In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I
can scale any wall.” Psalm 18:29
