we all face troubling circumstances every now and again in this life there will be things events and words spoken to and against us that will either hurt us or leave us feeling discouraged however there is comfort in the Lord there is hope and healing in Jesus Christ John chap 14:1 states do not let your heart be troubled afraid cowardly believe confidently in God and trust in him have faith hold on to it rely on it keep going and believe also in me in Jesus Christ you should see yourself living free from depression from guilt from
shame and from condemnation in Jesus you should see yourself living free from anxiety and stress our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has said to us do not let your heart be troubled how many of us obey this instruction how many of us choose Faith over fear how many of us choose to trust in the Lord over focusing on our troubles in Jesus Christ you have peace refuge and certain Victory so if your heart is troubled today take your burdens to the Redeemer take that which bothers you and lay it down before the Lord take everything
to Jesus the pain from any in criticism the pain from betrayal or the pain from disappointments Take It All to Jesus Christ Psalm 147:3 says he heals the Brokenhearted and binds up their wounds there is no pit so deep that God can't lift you out of it and dust you off there is nothing so dark that God's light can't shine into it so do not let your heart be troubled invite the Lord into your circumstances Jonah prayed from a place of darkness and deep distress he prayed from a place where he had no other choice
but to turn to God he prayed from a place where he had nowhere else to go nowhere else to turn to but but to the Lord he was completely powerless in this life we can also find ourselves in a similar position whether it's because of Disobedience or no fault of our own each one of us will at one point find ourselves in the belly of a fish when Jonah found himself in this position he did the only thing he could do and that was to turn to the Lord in prayer prayer Jonah 2: 1-10 reads
then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish saying I called out to the Lord out of my distress and he answered me out of the belly of shol I cried and you heard my voice for you cast me into the deep into the heart of the Seas and the flood surrounded me all your waves and your Billows passed over me then I said I am driven away from your sight yet I shall look again upon your Holy Temple the waters closed in over me to take my life the Deep
surrounded me weeds were wrapped about my head at the roots of the mountains I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever yet you brought up my life from the pit oh Lord my God when my life was fainting away I remembered the Lord and my prayer came to you into your Holy Temple those who pay regard to Vain Idols forsake their hope of steadfast love but I with the voice of Thanksgiving will sacrifice to you what I vowed I will pay salvation Belongs to the Lord and the Lord spoke to the
fish and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land now you may be able to relate to some of the feelings of deep distress that Jonah experienced you may be feeling completely powerless and as though there is no way out of your situation if that's the case Cas then you should be encouraged by the word of God In Jonah 2:2 Jonah said I called out to the Lord out of my distress and he answered me God can do the same for us today he will do the same for us today in our moments of distress
