My GOD is real!

I have been somewhat troubled and disturbed recently (no, not by that "event"). The past me would have been very kan-cheong and start looking for a solution. But what God has done with and in me over the last six months prompted me to kneel before Him in prayers and to seek refuge in Him.

Sometimes I cannot be sure that God really listens or whether it is relevant to Him. But as I prayed and sought for comfort and peace, Psalm 54 came to me. Not something that I am familiar with and with initial hesitation, I was wondering if I really heard that. And whether God really knows that I am crying out to Him.

And verses 1-2 read:

Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

Isn't that amazing? I cannot fathom the extent of His love and His interest in a minnow like me. But He is really interested in each and every individual. There will be situations which may look seriously distressed or hopeless but our God is a God of hope. There have been countless situations when God delivered but Man is just so forgetful (which reminds me I should blog this and write it somewhere). Exams and work are good examples.

And in verse 4, David declares "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me." Although this Psalm did not speak of a deliverance but it depicted the same cry that I have to God. And a reminder of turning a prayer into praise. That in all circumstances, remembering who the Master and Maker is. Though some form of anxiety and uncertainty may still remain and resolution may take time, I want to believe just as the final verse says -

"For HE has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes."
