January 31, 2019 - HELP!

Day 28- (Today’s Bible readings: 1 Samuel 8, Psalm 29; Acts 27:13-38)

 “To you, Lord, I call;
    you are my Rock,
    do not turn a deaf ear to me...
Hear my cry for mercy
    as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
    toward your Most Holy Place.” (Psalm 28:1-2)

What good news! David gives us the example of what you can do when you find yourself in great need.

 “To you, Lord, I call;
    you are my Rock,
    do not turn a deaf ear to me.”

When you don’t know which way to turn, turn the Lord. Call our to and ask Him to have mercy on you.

“Hear my cry for mercy
    as I call to you for help.”

Listen to the tenderly invite you to turn to Him in your need:

“Call on me in the day of trouble;
    I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”  (Psalm 50:15)

Lord, have mercy on me, and lead me through times of trial. Even more, have mercy on me, a poor miserable sinner and grant me forgiveness and reconciliation with You. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
