Pour Out Your Heart

"Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah." Psalm 62:8

Sometimes We just need Bible Verses to Cling to....

"[A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me. Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. 

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about." Psalm 3:1-6

"He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me." Psalm 18:16-19

"[To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? ... He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him." Psalm 22:1, 8

"The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all." Psalm 34:17-19

"Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me." Psalm 35:1

My Heart to You:

I ache to hear the trials and heartaches my friends are going through. I'm grieved and sadden by the burdens that they bare. (1 Peter. 5:7) If you are going through something, look to God's Word, especially Psalms. My yellow highlighter covers all the verses and chapters I mentioned.... It is the most encouraging book. If you are aching and are burdened down, God knows and sees it. He is working things out. Trust him! (Psalm 62:8) Give God the problem and pray. (2 Kings 19:14-15) I'm praying for you, reader. I pray God uses these verses and His Bible to strengthen, comfort, and encourage you.

"He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer." Psalm 102:17
