1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
If Jonah could find the LORD, from the belly of a whale, you can reach Him from your arena of need. And if the LORD could deliver Jonah, from the belly of hell, your cause is not too hard for Him, Jon 2:5 "The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head." The weeds wrapped about his head: he was hopeless and from his hopelessness, Jonah cried to the LORD. Jon 2:2 " And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice."
A wise person will turn to the immutable truths of God's grace, mercy, power. When life has left you with a bitter taste of heartache, and with no answers as to why then cling to the unchanging Word of God. Put your burden in the hands of God; relinquish your control and live by faith through God's Word. Trust your future to God, Who is able. Eph 3:20 " Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"
Unbelief leaves you floundering in the prison house of self-righteousness, and pride keeps you locked in that prison of self. Our willingness to live without knowledge and understanding of God's Word is to be laid aside, "....let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
Psalm 144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: Strange Children means those who are against the gospel, the enemies to your soul (life), enemies of God. They are false teachers who give a false hope. But God is for you and that is demonstrated in the Gospel. Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Believe Him, Romans 8:32-37
