Cry out to Him

So this past week was not the easiest. I had a lot going on and instead of sharing with others, I kept it all inside until I exploded. I felt that nothing was going right. I was misinterpreting text messages, I was super stressed  and hurt, and I was upset and angry. All of those feelings mixed together along with me keeping them bottled up inside was not a smart idea. 

One day it all became to much and I broke down. I was so angry, upset, hurt that I was shaking and couldn't calm down. I was talking to one of my friends and she sent me to Psalms 107. At first I didn't want to read the bible, I wanted to have my little melt down and handle it my self. That was a mistake on my part. After procrastinating a little, I decided to read it. 

Instantly I noticed a repeating pattern. In verses 6,13, 19 and 28 the same thing is written over and over again. "Then they cried out to Him in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress." Instantly upon reading that, I was able to quite shaking, I calmed down, and I felt peace. 

How amazing is that? That if we cry out to God, He really does answer! I am living proof of that. I cried out and he brought me peace and calmness. Throughout the whole week I have used Psalm 107 when talking to kids who are in need. I actually ended up teaching S.W.A.G this week out of this Psalm. 

I just find that mind blowing, that God hears even our deepest cries. He brings us peace, joy and delivers us when we are in trouble. Bad things are going to happen to us, we will face times of trouble. That's life. God never promised that this life would be easy, but He did promise it would be possible. The amazing thing is, that even during our darkness times. Times when we feel we have no one that we are alone on this crazy ride called life, God assures us that He is with us. That he will never leave.

He assures us that if we trust in him, and call out to him; He will deliver us from that distress. One thing everyone needs to realize that, Yes, God delivers and answers prayers, but No its not always right away. God does not work on our time. He works on His own time. He has three answers. "Yes, maybe, and No I have something better planned." God has a plan for our lives. He sees what is ahead for us, even when we cant. He knows the burdens of our heart and He knows how to heal our wounds. 

Cry out to Him. Trust in Him. Believe in Him. Have faith in Him. He will deliver you from your distress. His time is the right time. Be patient and remember you are loved. Someone is always there even during hard times. Someone is there to hold you when you cry. We can always run to arms that never close. 

They cried out to Him in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. (Psalm 107:6,13,19,28)
