I have a burden for my family who are having a tough time with the passing of my Dad. Yes our comfort is in the fact that my Dad was saved and he is with the Lord, but we will still be grieved and saddened because we miss him. For the child of God you can be encouraged and helped by the following verses. Perhaps there are others who are going through a tough time- I pray that you will also be encouraged in a mighty way through God’s Word.
The Plea and the Prayer
1.Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. Psalm 5:2-3
Bring your hurt and pain to the Lord. Call on Him in the midst of your trials and troubles.
The Proclamation and the Provision
1. I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 2. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalm 18:1-2
I have been blessed many times over by these powerful words from Psalm 18. They are a blessed reminder of who the Lord is to His children.
Consider these words:
The Lord is:
1. My Rock
2. My Fortress
3. My Deliverer
4. My God
5. My Strength
The Lord's comfort is real and His care is immeasurable.
