Psalm 31:9,14-16 (NASB)
9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;
My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also.
14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord,
I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in Your hand;
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.
16 Make Your face to shine upon Your servant;
Save me in Your lovingkindness.

We all go through times of grief. We often ask why; we often ask why me. But we have a Father that is willing to let us crawl up in His lap as He folds His arms around us to comfort us. He will never turn away if we call out to Him as our Lord and Savior.

David went through many sorrows. He was not a perfect man. Yet he always cried out to a perfect God, One whom he knew would comfort him.

Father, there have been times of trouble in my life and times of trouble to come. Yet You are my rock and my salvation. When I am in distress, may my first thoughts be of You and how you are my comfort. I pray that I will always depend on You for all  things. Amen.

Always praying for the glory of God,
