Scripture
Psalm 55:16-17 & v.22
16-17As for me, I shall call upon God and the Lord will save me. Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, And He will hear my voice. 22Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.Observation
I can call out to God anytime, morning, noon, and night, and He will hear me. I can cry, complain, murmur, be loud, be quiet and still, sigh deeply, or whatever way I come to Him, He hears me. I'm to give my burden to the Lord and He will sustain me - He will maintain, nourish, provide food, bear, hold up, protect, support, and defend me. He won't allow His children to be shaken or moved. I can trust in Him no matter what's happening in my life.
Application
As for me . . . I will come to the Lord and lay my burdens down and cast all my cares on Him for I know He cares for me and will sustain me. I need not be concerned about how I lay my burdens down. I can come 'just as I am' and vent it all to Him, and He hears me. He hears my voice, my heart, my innermost being. And He still cares for me and loves me. I will trust Him and not be shaken!
Prayer
Father, I thank You because You hear me when I call to You. Whether it's a formulated prayer of thanks and praise, or a sob in the night, or even just a deep sigh or scream of anguish; You hear me and You sustain me. You get me through the hard times. You have saved me and rescued me! You are my God and Strength! My heart is steadfast O God, My heart is steadfast! I will sing praises to You!
In Jesus Name,
A-men.
