Rest assured that the Lord hears you cry and that He sees your pain. He knows your situation and understands what you are going through. God promises his children that He will deliver them from all there troubles – He did not say “some”; He said “all”. We often get ourselves in some very creative messes, especially when we run ahead of God and implement our half-baked Do It Yourself ideas. We get to a stage in our lives when we are disillusioned and think that we know it all. But I have learnt that as one gets older, it is possible to realize that we know nothing at all! God is the Only One who is all-knowing and sees everything – past, present and future. He knows what He created us to do and what is best for our lives. That is why it is very important that we go to God about every life altering decision that we face. Not only does it give us a sense of assurance that we are on the right path but we get the guidance and direction that we desperately need as we navigate through life. Even when we have gone to God, we might still encounter trouble. Going directly to the Lord as our refuge is crucial. Most of the time, He is the Only One who can give us the help that we need. Do not be discouraged or downtrodden, God hears you in your time of trouble and He will deliver you. He may not do it the way that you’d like or at the time of your choosing but His time is the best time and His way is the best way out for you. There is no need to let your circumstances overwhelm you; the Lord has the whole world in His hand. Stand firm in prayer and keep your gaze focused on God. Do not be tempted to compromise your faith for quick results as they never last the test of time. Turn your issues over to God with the confidence that He is in control of all aspects of your life and that He will work things out for your good and to His glory in due time. Psalm 34:17-20
