God Is There To Help

God Is There To Help

“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch our your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.”
Psalm 138:7

During these past several years I have received hundreds of e-mails where people are walking in the midst of troubles. It could be either financial troubles, marital troubles, health issues, job issues or a multitude of other troubles that are weighing them down. I believe that many times God sends troubles to people to get their attention. We do not seek God when things are going well in our lives, when everything that we do is being successful, or when we feel safe and secure. It is when we have troubles that come upon us, and we begin to have fear, doubt and feel insecure about ourselves and don’t know where to turn; this is the time that many people begin to look to God for help and an answer to their problems. Many times it takes trouble that comes into our lives for us to realize that we can no longer depend upon ourselves for the answers. When we realize that we need help, and begin to go to God for our answers, this is the time that real change can take place in our lives. God can bring relief to us from the uncertainty, the fear, the insecurity, and can provide peace and the security that we need to withstand our storms. It is during these times that we can open our hearts to God, and begin to draw closer to Him as our protector and our provider. I would encourage any of you who are walking through a time of trouble at this time, to think about turning this over to God. He will walk with you through any trouble that you are facing, and when you depend upon Him for your solution, He can provide you with comfort and the peace to withstand any storm.
