Psalm 68:6 God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
One of the things we get to know about God when we accept Him as our God is that He cares above and beyond!
When we call out to Him with our worries, our loneliness, our weakness or our infirmaries, He will answer!
When we turn our backs on Him, we are left to do our own things which often lead to destruction.

Romans 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
What is hope unless we do not yet have what we hope for?
Jesus knew people around Him lacked the type of loving relationship He shared with His Father.
He wants us to have share in the love He has for us and for His Father!

1 John 3:1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
When we accept Jesus into our lives we become children of God; that is so very special!
What the world sees is a person who has to rely on someone else – what we see is a Father who cares above and beyond!
Come and be a child of God and enjoy His protection and love!

Psalm 109:24 My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt.
One of the things we get to learn is our bodies run out of energy unless we refill them!
We can go for a while without food and water, but not that long!
We can go for a while without the Gospel, but not too long otherwise we are left behind!

Romans 9:2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
Sometimes we have to face what is right in our heart verses what is right by mankind’s laws…
We have to make sure we choose what is right in God’s eyes and not necessarily in man’s eyes.
Choose God to avoid your anxiety.

Another thing we can rely on is the wicked will be found out, if not now, in heaven!
We know in our hearts we should be following the righteous ways – just do it!

Psalm 43:5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God.
We really do need to learn how to worship God with all things in our lives!
Once we see how important God is we will see many more ways in which God will bless us.
Don’t focus on the money or possessions, rather focus on loving with your whole heart!

Psalm 131:1 My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.
How often are you too proud to do something to help others or admit to your faults?
How often do you think of yourself as being above others or better than others?
How often do you act more like Jesus and invite others into your life?

Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfilment of the law.
If only we could all see the real power of love in our communities!
Instead we get caught up in all the strife and anguish of things going wrong and people saying the wrong things.
God wants us to rise above the things of the world and accept each other with love!

Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
What do you think of when someone tells you to wait on the Lord?
I love this verse because it tells you in plain English, you have to show some strength so you can wait on the Lord.
God knows you have to go beyond your comfort limits sometimes so He will give you the strength to wait on Him.

Why not just share those points and make it real!

Psalm 40:17 But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.
Do you think of yourself as important enough for Christ to save?
Do you think of others as not good enough for Christ to save?
Why not humble yourself before Christ and allow Him to do the choosing by Himself!

Psalm 19:14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
After reading through the rest of this chapter you will realise a couple of things…
The author knows God created everything around Him and wants to praise Him for it.
These words of praise must come from the heart and not just be read out...

Luke 18:1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
Christ always tried to impress on the disciples the importance of prayer.
