I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will find and feel my presence even in your time of pressure and trouble. I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast. You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you.

- Psalm 91:15-16

In times of trouble, search for Him, and you will surely find Him.

Whatever you may be going through, the Lord is beside you right now, waiting for you to call out to Him.

Do not let doubt and confusion cloud your trust in Him, for He has promised to be forever faithful.

Do not underestimate your time in prayer, for it is a sacred time of communing with your Father. He longs to soothe away the trouble of the world.

As you cry out to Him, He will turn His face to you and come to your rescue.

Allow Him to destroy the walls you have put up, embrace you with His wrap-around presence, and wash away all anxiety.

TODAY: When you hear Him knocking on the door of your heart, let Him in! For He has come to give you a feast. Since you are His chosen beloved, He offers you to drink from His cup of joy, satisfying you with full life and salvation, never to lack again.  

With Love,
Sarah Sherstad
