DEVO. 02.03.26

“But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.” (‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- Do you feel distressed?

- The Amplified puts it like this, “In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the Lord and cried to my God for help.”

- Sometimes your problems seem so big that they feel like they're closing in from all sides and surrounding you.

- It can be a financial problem, a struggle in a relationship, an emotional problem or something that has a strong hold on your life.

- It’s gripping and it traps you!

- You may feel like there is no way out but in those times, cry out to the Lord!

- He won’t ignore you.

- He won’t avoid you.

- He says, “‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’” (Jeremiah‬ ‭33‬:‭3‬)

- Your help is found in His presence.

- This is a Psalm of David. He felt surrounded by problems.

- But he gives us His answer!

- “I prayed to my God for help”

- He calls him, “My God”

- “My God” means He’s personal & relational!

- He wants to hear your voice.

- When you cry out to Him, you are saying, I can’t but you can!

- You are declaring your dependence on Him.

- Your problem may be beyond you, but it’s not beyond your God!

- Our Almighty God is greater than everything that is surrounding you!

- He makes the big problem feel small!

- Today call on His Name!

- He is waiting for you to reach out to Him!

- Have a great Tuesday!
