I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him and he answered my prayer.
– Psalm 120:1(NLT)
CRY OUT AND RUN TO GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you have troubles and difficulties in life?
Who can make you understand and give you light?
I took my troubles to the Lord and cried out to him
He listened to me and made me see.
What a compassionate God we have
He is always there to give me love
He is waiting for me to run to him
He unconditionally forgives and redeems.
When you seek solace from someone, they may help you or worsen your situation. I used to depend on counselors so much because I wanted to overcome my abuse cycle. It became an addiction to run to them whenever I have panic attacks. Sometimes I feel better after talking to them but most of the time, I still go to the same patterns of seeking comfort from them. There was a trauma therapist who I saw for almost a year. The more I came to him, the more troubles I got into.
I took my troubles to God, cried out to him and he answered my prayer. The spirit told me to seek and study God’s word so I will see what lies I have been listening to.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me faithful to seek your word.
