Finding God In Time Of Crises โ€“ By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi

๐Ÿ’ฅAt any given time we could find ourselves in a crisis.

๐Ÿ’ฅYes, believers in Jesus Christ are not exempted from crisis of life.

๐Ÿ’ฅPersonally, I run to God immediately I recognize that I am experiencing crisis in my life.

๐Ÿ’ฅThis is because I know that He is the one person who can do something about my crisis.

๐Ÿ“”Psalm 34:17 tells us God will deliver us from our troubles when we cry out to Him.

โญ•๏ธโ€The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles”

๐Ÿ“” 2 Samuel 22:7 says:

โญ•๏ธโ€ In my distress I called upon the Lord; I cried out to my God.

๐Ÿ“” Psalm 145:18-19 encourages thatโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€ The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them

๐Ÿ’ฅThe Importance of Honesty:

Expressing our feelings honestly, even the difficult ones, can lead to a more authentic relationship with God.

๐Ÿ’ฅIt’s okay to admit when we are struggling,

as Psalm 88:1 demonstrates: “O Lord, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you”

๐Ÿ’ฅDavid, for example, didn’t hesitate to tell God how he felt, even in his moments of despair and fear, as seen in Psalm 42:10-11

โญ•๏ธโ€ Psalm 13:5, โ€œBut I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvationโ€ (NIV). Psalm 13 is a classic example of a psalm of lamentโ€
