How many times have you cried out, begged for God to help you? To just keep you safe? To keep you sane?
King David felt this and wrote down this very feeling in what is commonly referred to as the "Golden Psalm" or the "Michtam of David. It is Psalms 16 and it begins with; "Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge."
The realness of His strain in life is powerful, but please take note of how he ends his first verse. Look carefully how we can and should be encouraged to end our cries of help, "...for in you I take refuge." Through prayer, by His Word, we are assuredly safe and secure in His presence. Cry out, yes, but end with praise and thanksgiving remembering that God is your refuge.
