Psalm 6:3 My soul is in deep anguish. How long, Lord, how long?

How long do you wait for God to answer your prayers? Have those prayers come from your heart or from a book?

God wants us to be very personal with our prayers – the psalmist here lifts up his words in anguish, waiting for God to answer!

It is better we spend a single minute lifting up a prayer from our heart than a whole day lifting up loads of words for the sake of words

Matthew 6:27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

Have you noticed how worrying about things seems to make them worse?

Have you noticed how little you can do with worry?

God wants us to take action instead of worrying about things. God wants us to make a difference and not just talk about it.

God wants us to pray and not just say we will!

James 1:4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

When we find ourselves in hard times, we can either collapse in a heap or we can get stronger.

God knows how much we can take, but He is not going to load us up until we are almost at breaking point... that is the world, not God!

God does not say He will keep us apart from trials, but He does say He will be with us through them... Count on God!
