You Saw My Affliction

Troy 102

Thank you so much to all of you who were praying for our family while we escaped this last weekend. It was an amazing time, and I will write more about it later.

I did want to share with you part of a chapter God gave me though, while He love on me at the campfire.

Psalm 31

1 In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.

2 Turn your ear to me,
come quickly to my rescue;
be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save m
e.

3 Since you are my rock and my fortress,
for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

4 Free me from the trap that is set for me,
for you are my refuge.

5 Into your hands I commit my spirit;
redeem me, O LORD, the God of truth.

6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols;
I trust in the LORD.

7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
for
you saw my affliction
and knew the anguish of my soul
.

I have taken refuge - God really showed me that in the stresses of life lately, I haven't really been taking refuge in him. Instead, I've been pretty angry at Him - and feeling ignored.

Be my rock of refuge - So this was my prayer. God, be my rock. I know He wants to be, but it is my choice what I allow to be my rock. I desperately
want it to be him.

You saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul - The truth to combat the lie that He doesn't care or understand. He does. He really, really does.
