\u201ccasting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBehold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 69:29<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0But I am afflicted and in pain; let your salvation, O God, set me on high!<\/p>\n

Psalms 40:17<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!<\/p>\n

Psalms 109:22<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me.<\/p>\n

Psalms 70:5<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay!<\/p>\n

Psalms 109:31<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.<\/p>\n

Psalms 34:6<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.<\/p>\n

1 Peter 2:23<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 13:6<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0So we can confidently say, \u201cThe Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?\u201d<\/p>\n

Understanding our circumstance and condition gives us ground to seek God\u00a0for help and strength. \u00a0It is easy, when things have gone south, to seek God in a humble attitude. \u00a0 Why does it seem God is closest during times of trials and trouble?\u00a0Could it be because we are seeking Him with our whole heart, mind and soul? \u00a0Could it be because we have given up on trying to handle it on our own? \u00a0Could it be because we are in a state of mind that now allows God’s word to be heard in our heart and mind? \u00a0Could it be our somewhat hardened heart has softened to the point of yielding to laying those trials and issues at His feet? \u00a0Could it be our focus has changed from things of this world to promises of God? \u00a0 But what about times when things are going smooth and our lives are without issue or much concern? \u00a0What is our desire then???? Is God even a thought throughout the day? \u00a0 Training, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of God and things of God requires commitment, effort, and dedication. \u00a0Train your heart, eyes, mind, and ears to focus on God and His purpose for you life at all times. \u00a0Don’t waste a single day without humbly serving, honoring, following and obeying Him. \u00a0Soon things of this world will grow much dimmer and He will shine much brighter in all you think, see, say and do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
