Calling to God

Yeah, I know. Its technically July 3rd. But, I haven't gone to bed yet, so in my world, its still the 2nd.

In explaination, I didn't get to sleep until 5:30 last night, a fusion of caffeine and too much on my mind, so needless to say I slept the whole day away. So that, along with work set me behind just a bit.

I wish I had some cute, ironic things to say, but today was a short day, so here goes.

Day 2 = Calling to God.

Psalms 4, 5 and 22

Its so funny how God knows just what you really need to hear sometimes. Two days in a row He has given me something that just brought me a whole lot of peace and understanding.

I'm definitely speaking to myself here, but sometimes we need to let go and let God. We need to be sincere in our prayers and have unending faith. This is something I have literally struggled with for my entire life, and continue to struggle with.

Short, sweet, and to the point, here are the verses that stuck out to me today:

Psalm 4:1 - "Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress, be merciful to me and hear my prayer."

This is basically my heart right now. There are prayers of mine right now that have not been answered yet. I just need to keep in mind that God is for me. He alone knows whats best for me.

Psalm 5:11a - "But let all who take refuge in you be glad."

To continue the thought above, although we may have unanswered prayers, we are still under the protection of God. We can be glad for the refuge we have in Him.

Psalm 22:5 - "They cried out to you and were saved: in you they trusted and were not disappointed."

What a promise. They were not disappointed. Kinda gives you hope to hang on just a bit longer, huh?

So theres today. I apologize for the lateness of the hour, tomorrow will be much earlier...hopefully.
