Hope For What Concerns Me Today

Troubles come, sometimes one on top of another.  Pressure builds.  Sadness deepens.  We ask, “Where is God in the middle of my troubles?”  As we move towards the new year it’s important to not forget what we have just celebrated.  Jesus left the light and splendor of heaven, broke into the darkness and chaos of life on this planet, and brought peace and hope for those who put their trust in Him.

Jesus longs to comfort and strengthen us in our times of vulnerability.  If we ask for His guidance, He will show us the right way to handle any problem we may encounter.  He may even show us new ways to resolve lingering issues, ways we never even thought about or considered. 

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.  The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.  Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands. (Psalm 138:7-8 NKJV) 

Seems like a good plan to carry forward as we close out this year and move into the next.

Prayer:  Gracious God, I choose to stand with You and trust You to show me the way forward in every situation that concerns me.  Thank You for both Your wisdom and guidance. Amen
