In times of Struggle offer your Prayers up to the Holy One

Verses: Psalms 43: 1 - 5

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.

My thoughts about the verses:

We all have times in our life where we feel that God is not at our side.  We feel as if we are fighting the battle all by our self.  We think that God doesn’t hear us pleading for strength.  Our soul is in despair.

We forget what is written in the scripture.  God tells us that we are never alone.  No matter where we may be if we have asked Jesus in our life we are not forsaken.  We have a deep down strength and peace that others do not have.

I think about the time when I was searching for a place to worship.  I felt like there was no where I could go.  I felt as if I was being judged by others even those that didn’t know me.  I felt isolated because I didn’t have a group to worship with. 

There are so many people in this world that feel this way.  There is hope for anyone who is feeling alone today.  God is our refuge and our strength.  You may not have a place where you can openly worship, but you do have the ability to worship.

I learned that one of the ways to worship is to go to God in your own place.  Anyone can call upon God and feel strength.  You can sing praises to God from your heart.  No one has to hear the words that you are singing.  No one has to hear the praises that you lift.  The communication is between you and the Holy One.

The greatest thing that we can take away is that we are never alone.  God is there with us.  When the world seems to despise us with have strength that comes from deep within.  We have loving arms that will protect us.  We have a God that is always walking beside us.

This world will one day pass.  Yet, the love of God will never end.  We will always have a Savior that will help us in all our times of need.  When we feel alone know that God is carrying us.  God will keep us safe and will never leave us.  This is the one thing that we can know true if we accept Jesus into our heart.  Calling the Savior into your life gives you a friend for all situations and times.

Prayer:

In the name of the Holy One we pray.  Praise God for peace and comfort.  Thank you for loving us.  Thank you for always providing us a place to worship, if only in our heart.  In your name of the Holy One we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Do you have God in your heart?  Do you feel peace and comfort?  Do you feel alone?  Is today you asked God into your Heart?
