February 14, 2021 Sending Out an SOS – Psalms 34:1-10

From time to time, we seek God’s help through prayer. Do we trust him that He would answer our pleas?

The psalmist David was certainly in a desperate position. He was being pursued by jealous King Saul who sought to kill him. And so he fled to the city of Gath, where he pretended to be insane in order to preserve his life.

After occurring these events, David cried out in prayer to God for help. “I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.” (Psalms 34:4,6) God heard his pleas and delivered him.

Are we in a desperate situation and crying out for help? Be assured that God still hears and responds to our desperate prayers today. “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you;he will never let the righteous be shaken.” (Psalms 55:22). When we turn our difficult circumstances over to God, we can trust that He’ll provide the help we need. We’re secure in His capable hands. Dear Father, thank You for hearing my prayers and bringing comfort, peace—whatever I need most. And thank You especially for rescuing me from my sin.
