Turn To Him

Scripture: Psalm 102

Where do you turn when you are trouble? To whom do you look? We all face trouble from time to time. We face distressing situations throughout life. Often times those circumstances are so distressing they make us “sick” to our stomach. They cause us to loose sleep at night. They make us loose our appetite. They bring us to tears. They make us feel deserted and alone. The Psalmist felt this way as he describes in detail the depths of his distress. But where does he turn? He turns to the Lord – the one who “sits on the throne forever.” In our times of deep distress we can look to God and know that He hears our prayers. He is the one to whom we can cry out. He is the one to whom we can turn. He is the one who created the universe and has the power to deliver us from our distress. He will bring peace in the midst of the storm. Turn to Him.

Prayer: Dear God, in my times of distress help me to always look to You. Though I may feel alone, afraid, depressed, or distraught, help me to remember that you have an immense love for me and you care about the circumstances that I face in life. Bring peace in my distress.
