We Turn to God When Life Is Tough

Psalm 23

When life is tough, it easy to let our thoughts and worries rule our minds.  Notice I did not say “if life is tough.”  Life will be difficult.  There will be ups and downs and through it all, God is with us and for us.  These verses written by David are reminders of this promise from God.  When thoughts of anxiety or general life stresses happen, we need to be reminded of these promises and fix our minds on them versus the worries of life.  

Questions for further thought:
1. What is causing anxiety or stress in your life now?
2. Which promise in these verses today speaks to the anxiety or stress in your life?  

​Challenge: Write these verses on a notecard to carry with you or post in a prominent space where you will always see it.  Also, take time to memorize these verses so they come to mind easily when you begin to be anxious or stressed.
