At any given time we could find ourselves in a crisis.
Yes, believers in Jesus Christ are not exempted from crisis of life.
Personally, I run to God immediately I recognize that I am experiencing crisis in my life.
This is because I know that He is the one person who can do something about my crisis.
Psalm 34:17 tells us God will deliver us from our troubles when we cry out to Him.
โThe righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles”
2 Samuel 22:7 says:
โ In my distress I called upon the Lord; I cried out to my God.
Psalm 145:18-19 encourages thatโฆ
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

The Importance of Honesty:
Expressing our feelings honestly, even the difficult ones, can lead to a more authentic relationship with God.
It’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”
David, 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
โ Psalm 13:5, โBut I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvationโ (NIV). Psalm 13 is a classic example of a psalm of lamentโ
