It is sometimes difficult to remember God’s promises when troubles arise.  We become overwhelmed by the daily pressures we face.  I take comfort in reading and meditating on Psalm 91, when trouble is all around me.

Psalm 91 tells us; God is our shelter and protection from danger or trouble.  When troubles of the day cause me to feel afraid, I run to the Lord for safety.  No matter how intense our fears, we can run to God for protection and safety; there we will find rest.  “You will deliver me from my many troubles O God.”

Oh, what comfort it is to know that the Lord will hear our cry.  He will have mercy on us and be gracious enough to answer us.  He will lift us up above our enemies.  Then we can sing praises to our God.  Our God has delivered us from our distress and troubles.  You, O Lord, save those that are crushed with sorrow.  You are near to me when my heart is broken.  Psalm 34:18

Thank you for having mercy on me O Lord.  Thank you for delivering me from my troubles.   I am confident that you will keep me safe until the storms are past.  You have begun a good work in me and will complete it.  Philippians 1:6

By faith, I respond to my troubles today, knowing that I can take shelter in You Lord.  I will praise you in the safety of Your shelter; I will make a joyful noise to You!  Thank you for loving me God.
