Reach For . . .

Read Psalm 55:1-7,22

Reflection of Tommy:

In times of stress, crisis or sorrow, many tend to seek out things that bring temporary relief and escape from their problem. It doesn’t take long for those problems to crop back and haunts them again and again; leading them to seek for other ways to comfort and calm their restless heart and mind. Very often, these ways are destructive and worsen their situation even more than before.

As Christian, we need not to seek for all these temporal and negative solutions but instead we should be like David, to cast all our cares to God (v22) in times of grief and sorrow. Our faithful and loving God not only listens, knows and understands our struggles; He has also promise to sustain us with the strength, peace and grace to endure (v22).

Dear Father, thank You that I can rest all my cares unto Your hand; that You will handle them for me. Teach me to trust You on that and not taking back my burdens every time I’ve submitted to You. Guide me to earnestly seek Your Word daily and allowing the Spirit to fully work in me; changing me into the person You wanted me to be. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
