“我心里发昏的时候，我要从地极求告你。求你领我到那比我更高的磐石！”
诗篇 61:2
“From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
Psalms 61:2
God’s care for His children is a constant theme throughout the Scriptures. Even though David felt abandoned by people at times, he repeatedly thanked God for His care for him (see Psalm 142).
When we feel alone and abandoned, we too can have confidence in God and cast our anxiety on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Prayer is important, for it is in prayer that we pour out our concerns to Him, confident that in His time and wisdom He will respond.
This confidence is at the heart of Paul’s challenge to the church at Philippi, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Philippians 4:6). The resulting peace (v. 7) is His gift to us, carrying us through as we await His answers to our needs.
Are you facing a situation for which you need God’s help? Go to the Rock in prayer and rest in His peace.
