Psalm 20

In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry.
    May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.
May he send you help from his sanctuary
   and strengthen you from Jerusalem.
May he remember all your gifts
   and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

May he grant your heart's desires
   and make all your plans succeed.
May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory
   and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.
May the Lord answer all your prayers.

Now I know that the Lord rescues his annointed king.
   He will answer him from his holy heaven
   and rescue him by his great power.
Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,
   but we will rise up and stand firm.

Give victory to our king, O Lord!
   Answer our cry for help!

                                            Psalm 20

I  rejoice in the fact that at any moment in time, I can honestly cry to God for help.  Because God knows us so well, inside and out, we can always share our hearts completely with Him - every thought, every grief, every worry - everything.  And when we cry out to Him, He doesn't just listen - He acts on our behalf with all the power of His glory and power!  How awesome is HE!

God has moved heaven and earth for His people before - and He still does and will again! From the creation of all things to the parting of the red sea to the birth of Jesus Christ, His perfect Son, to Christ's resurrection on the cross to Christ's return, God hears our cries and moves on our behalf!

Tell Him the burdens of your heart today.  If there is anyone you can be completely forthright and honest with, it is God.   Tell Him your troubles, your doubts, and fears.  Trust in Christ.  Allow His Holy Spirit to fill you with His love, peace, and confidence that only He can give.  Troubles of this life are a given but we don't have to face them alone.  In Christ we can do all things!

Peace and love, friends!

   

In His Love, Cathy
