Psalm 4:1 Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
Lately I have been feeling exhausted because I've been constantly on the go with no restful moments. I know God is with me, but I just can't seem to catch up with my own schedule. He and I have our time together, obviously, however the rest of my day just seems crazily busy and I get overwhelmed. I am so thrilled that this is the verse He gave me for today (well all of Psalm 4 really…read it!). It is exactly the prayer I needed to pray. What I love about God is that he listens when we call on him. He is merciful and bestows His grace, among many other things, abundantly upon us when we ask Him. After walking with God for most of my life, I sometimes forget to ask God to take care of me in that way. I am reminded today to ask Him for His mercies and not just expect them from Him or take them for granted. His attributes that He bestows on us such as grace, mercy, and peace are staples in my everyday life, but I have to remember to put in my request. Requesting keeps me humble and reminds me that God is definitely the one in control of all of my life, the crazy times and the restful times. What attribute(s) of God do you need to request today? Ask and it shall be given to you.
