God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble.
Psalm 46:1, HCSB
“Helper” is not a bad term, for even God is a helper. Let us trust the One who helps us overcome sin, circumstances, and difficult times.
For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.
Psalm 100:5, HCSB
God became one of us, proving His love and faithfulness toward us. Let us live lives of love and faithfulness like Christ.
From the rising of the sun to its setting, let the name of Yahweh be praised.
Psalm 113:3, HCSB
It is easy to grow frustrated with this world, but we trust in God who holds this world together, who has a plan and the power to enact. As each day comes and goes, we proclaim His faithfulness and praise His name!
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.
Psalm 126:5, HCSB
It is easy to grow frustrated with this world, but we have the hope that Christ has overcome this world and will one day return and wipe away every tear as He brings evil to an end.
Many adversities come to the one who is righteous, but the Lord delivers him from them all.
Psalm 34:19, HCSB
Our lives must be ordered by God, and then life’s circumstances can be handled with grace and confidence in faith in God’s goodness and faithfulness.
But I will sing of Your strength and will joyfully proclaim Your faithful love in the morning. For You have been a stronghold for me, a refuge in my day of trouble.
Psalm 59:16, HCSB
God deserves our praise and gratitude, and He is worthy of it because of His faithfulness and love toward us.
Turn away from evil and do what is good; seek peace and pursue it.
Psalm 34:14, HCSB
God is worthy of praise and gratitude, because the further we get from Him the more violent and chaotic humanity becomes. Yet, He has made peace with and for us through Christ.
Why am I so depressed?
Psalm 43:5, HCSB
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
It can feel like God is distant, whether because of evil in the world or our own sin or need to help others, yet we know that in Christ God is always with us through the promised Holy Spirit until His return.
Send Your light and Your truth; let them lead me.
Psalm 43:3-4, HCSB
Let them bring me to Your holy mountain,
to Your dwelling place.
Then I will come to the altar of God,
to God, my greatest joy.
I will praise You with the lyre,
God, my God.
It can feel like God is distant, yet He is always as close as a prayer, inhabits our praise, and promised to always be with His Church.
For You are the God of my refuge.
Psalm 43:2, HCSB
Why have You rejected me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?
It can feel like God is distant, especially when evil thrives, but we can take comfort in knowing that God has not only not rejected us but promised to be with us always when we are in Christ.
