God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.
I have talked about how God uses the people in our lives to help us. This psalm tells us that God is also present with us personally. When I think I am all alone, God is available to me. I have to admit, I am not very good at sensing God's presence. My faith tells me he is there, but I don't feel his comfort and peace. Maybe that's why I keep looking for his presence in the people I love. My prayer is for God to use this depression to teach me to feel his presence. In this dark disease, I have cried out to a God I refuse to stop believing in. Is that God's presence?
Lord, I believe in the peace that only you can give, but I don't know how to experience it. Open my heart to your presence, Lord. Let me hide in you when I need you. Amen.
