Scripture
Psalm 120:1 “I took my troubles to the Lord, I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.”
Observation
1) I will experience trouble
2) I can take my troubles to God
3) I cry out to God. There is emotion in prayer
4) God will answer my prayers. This is a promise to stand on and live by.
Application
When I experience troubles, I do not pout or live in fear, but I take my troubles to God. I cry out to him. I pray with emotion. I am honest with God about my circumstances and my feelings. God is my very present help in times of trouble. He will answer my prayers.
Prayer
Help me. Show me the way. I bring my troubles, worries, and fears to you. I need your help. I need you now. I cast my burdens upon you because I know you care for me.
