Verses from Psalms

“我要向山举目；我的帮助从何而来？我的帮助 从造天地的耶和华而来。”

诗篇 121:1-2 

“I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.”

Psalms 121:1-2 

When we “target fixate”—focusing on our problems or struggles—we almost automatically orient our lives around them.

However, Scripture encourages us to look past our problems to the One who can help us with them. In Psalm 121:1, we read, “I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from?” The psalm then answers: “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. . . . The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” (vv. 2, 8).

Sometimes our obstacles can seem insurmountable. But God invites us to look to Him to help us see beyond our troubles instead of letting them dominate our perspective. 

Father, 

help us not to “target fixate,” but to look to You whenever we face fearful obstacles as we seek to follow You along life’s road.
