“Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke their bands apart. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, and for His wonders to the sons of men!” (Psalm 107:13-15)
The Lord is good and when His people cry out to Him, He hears them and responds to their cry. Friends, all of Scripture is about the Lord providing a way out of this age of evil by turning to Him and knowing that He awaits the cry for salvation. He is mighty to save and has already put into place all that is needed that all people may be redeemed by His mercy if we but turn to Him.
O Lord, I look away to the right or left rather than turn to You in every time of trouble. Change my heart so that I know that You are always present and a help in every time of need. Guide me into the goodness of Your mercy that by Your grace I would see the salvation You have prepared in the sight of all people. Lift my eyes up to the place from whence my help comes and I will be saved.
Lord Jesus, through the cross of Your agony, You purchased for the Father those from every tribe, tongue and nation. Lead me, O Lord, in the way of salvation that I would forever look to You as my help in every place and at all times. Guide me in the way of salvation and keep my feet from stumbling away from You who is my help and my stay. You are the salvation of all who believe. Amen.
