Life is never in a straight or parallel line. There are times when we all don’t find it entertaining.

Times of distress will usually come.

What is our recommended way of responding to distress when overwhelmed with life?

Let us check the scriptures. There is an answer for every imbroglio we might encounter.

Psa 107:13 (KJV) Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

Times of trouble are not the times to panic or be filled with anxiety. It is not time to worry or be filled with trepidation. It is not time to complain or murmur. It is not time to withdraw from God or become numb to the love of God. It is not time to be filled with apathy and begin to reject God!

It is time to cry unto the Lord!

They cried unto the Lord…
Not cry unto themselves…
Not cry unto their family…
But into the Lord.
And that is very instructive.

Crying unto the Lord shows that you put your trust in Him and have faith that He can save, deliver, and settle you!

Crying unto the Lord shows that you don’t have any alternative besides God, which is what you call faith!

After calling unto the Lord, what did the scripture say?

…and he saved them out of their distresses.

Well, God will save you from every distress in Jesus’ name!

When there is a lot of stress, we become distressed!

But hear me this morning: God will save you from every distress!

Take a look at the message translation:

Psa 107:13 (MSG) Then you called out to GOD in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time.

Is your condition desperate? God will get you out in time—he won’t be late! Believe, trust, and see God’s salvation today!

Good morning!
