MR WORRY

As i studied for sunday school this morning, my mind flashed back to certain days i had contemplated Suicide because of the worries of life. i even went ahead to write a suicide note http://berylehondor.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-suicide-note.html

In dealing with doubts , times of personal crisis. and praying through your troubles the book of psalms is often a place where people turn.These musical poems often put into words emotions we sometimes hesitate to admit we have or find difficult to express to God in prayer. DOUBT is one of these.
In Psalm 77, we can explore how to deal with doubt when we troubled. We can battle doubt through prayers by reminding ourselves of God’s goodness and desire for what is best for us. Like the psalmist, we can come to realize that we can have confidence that God loves us and is in control during our troubling times.

This week’s lesson explores the process of praying through our troubles leading us eventually to achieve the following:
1.       Recognize the importance of calling on God during times of trouble
2.       Confess their doubts to God without worrying that God will reject them
3.       Experience for themselves the blessing of meditating on God’s redemptive works
You can apply the principles learned in this lesson in three ways.

   1.       Call on God when you find yourself in trouble. Like the psalmist pray and keep on praying until you are sure

        God has heard you. Do not grow weary in seeking God’s help.
   2.       Don not be afraid to confess your doubt to God when you feel puzzled by your situation. He wants to hear from you
  3.       During the process, remember to meditate on God’s redemptive works in the past. Thininking about the good things God has done for believers through the ages can do a great deal to reas your doubts about God’s faithfulness
Remember God loves you and want what is best for you. Encourage yourself in the Lord by spending time in prayer, confessing your doubts and remembering all the things God has done, is doing, and will do in your life. That  is truly the way to to pray through your troubles.
