BE OF GOOD COURAGE!
Stella Dhinakaran
My dear beloved in Christ,
In this present world, we see many people are affected by depression and they experience great sadness and hopelessness. Further, their depression deepens as they undergo various trials in life. Burdened and distressed they say, To whom will I share my worries? Who is there to comfort me? At such times, the Lord lovingly comforts us saying, Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3).
Moreover the Psalmist says, Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord! (Psalm 27:14).
If we trust ourselves or if our hope is on our relatives or any person at such times, the benefit that we receive from them would not be much. Sometimes, it would even be futile. But according to the verse, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing (Psalm 34:10), the Lord will wait for you. This is a special thing.
When we look up to the Lord, He will be eagerly waiting for us. When He thus comes, He will guide us with His eye, according to the verse, I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye (Psalm 32:8). How wonderful will be the guidance and counsels given by the Lord! My dear beloved, when problems crop up, please do not seek after human help and counsels. Kneel down at once and look to the Lord. Pray to Him saying, Lord, I have no other hope but You; I hold on to You; I dont know what to do; give me Your counsel, hold my hand and guide me according to Your will. He is a prayer answering God (Psalm 65:2). He knows what your needs are (Matthew 6:8). He will lead you in the right way.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
I patiently wait at Your feet seeking Your divine peace and patience. Thank you for assuring me that Your plans for me are good. As I wait on you, Help me to turn to Your Word for comfort and direction. Your Word gives me strength. Your Word chases away all my fears and anxieties. Your Word refreshes me. Empower me with Your strength to overcome my problems and help me to find victory in every area of my life.
In Your matchless name I pray.
Amen.
