From His temple He heard my voice;
my cry came before Him, into His ears.

He Saves Me...

Strength Every Morning

Lord, be gracious to us; we long for You. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress. ~ Isaiah 33:2 (NIV)

He's Close to the Brokenhearted

17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles.

18 The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and are humbly and thoroughly penitent.

19 Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

~Psalm 34:17-19 (AMPC)

Rejoice in Sufferings

3 And not only this, but [with joy] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance; 4 and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance [of eternal salvation]. 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. ~ Romans 5:3-5 (AMP)

Each Morning...

But as for me, I will sing about Your power.
    Each morning I will sing with joy about Your unfailing love.
For You have been my refuge,
    a place of safety when I am in distress.

~ Psalm 59:16 (NLT)

Who Will Separate Us from the Love of Christ?

~ Romans 8:35 (NASB)

Do Not Give Up

1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah son of Oded. 2 He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law. 4 But in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found by them. 5 In those days it was not safe to travel about, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. 6 One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another, because God was troubling them with every kind of distress. 7 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”

~ 2 Chronicles 15:1-7 (NIV)

What Can Man Do to Me?

5 When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place. 

6 The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? ~  (NIV)

5 5 From my distress I called upon the Lord;
The Lord answered me and set me in a large place.
6 6 The Lord is for me; I will not fear;
What can man do to me?

(NASB)

~ Psalm 118:5-6 

Praise HIM

²⁸ Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses.
²⁹ He caused the storm to be still,
So that the waves of the sea were hushed.
³⁰ Then they were glad because they were quiet,
So He guided them to their desired haven.
³¹ Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!
³² Let them extol Him also in the congregation of the people,
And praise Him at the seat of the elders.
