Sunday Psalm Loved Through Difficult Times

Sunday January 24, 2021

When problems arise it is easy to forget that God cares.  We often feel alone and vulnerable.  Daily life continues regardless of the heartache we are experiencing and somehow we must cope.  We feel like orphans with no one to care for us.  We forget God’s promise to help us and often believe He has abandoned us.  However, God does not forget His beloved.  We just need to call on Him and He will answer us.


The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  (Psalm 91:14-15 NLT)

In difficult times, rather than running from God we need to draw closer to Him and let His unfailing love ease the pain we are feeling.  We live in a broken world where sin and sorrow has impacted almost everyone we know.  Perhaps we have wondered where God was when bad things happened to us.  Perhaps we did not seek God for help because we were unaware that He was right beside us.

Jesus took all sin, suffering, and sorrow on Himself when He died in our place on the cross.  God offers us forgiveness, healing, and comfort as we put our trust in His unfailing love for us.  Regardless of life’s circumstances, God promises that He will never leave us and will firmly hold us until we can effectively stand strong again.


The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you.  Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down, and we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!  But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins.  He was beaten so we could be whole.  He was whipped so we could be healed. (Deuteronomy 33:27, Isaiah 53:4-5 NLT)

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I don’t understand suffering, but I know that You do and that You offer me forgiveness, healing, and comfort.  Hold me close to Your heart.  Take my hand and steady me as Your unfailing love brings healing to my pain.  Amen
