[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[psalm 38]] ## Title: Cry Out to God ## Scripture: (Psalm 38:21-22) “Do not abandon me, O Lord. My God, do not remain far away from me. Hurry and help me, O Lord, my deliverer.” (NET) ## Observation: There are many songs where David teaches us how to not lean on our own strength but to cry out to the Lord. If the king of the nation cries out to God like this, it is no disrespect for us to do the same. Many times, when we are going through difficulties, we can forget the Lord is there. We forget that He cares more about our situation than we do. So, the next time you go through a difficult season, make an appointment in your schedule for the Lord that is outside your normal devotional time. Act as though you are having an additional meeting that day and spend it with the Lord. Tell Him about all your issues and situations. Watch as the peace of God comes over you. Watch as you realize He is able to do more than you can about it. Then, take next steps with the confidence of knowing the Lord is making a way. ## Application: Make an appointment with God and tell Him all about it. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for caring for us.
