Like the sea, the storms of opposition come from every direction—not just physically and mentally, but spiritually as well. Who is leading this battle and stirring this storm? 1 Peter 5:8 tells us it is Satan who opposes God's purposes. The good news is that Psalm 21:11 assures us that, “Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.” Our battle plan? Prayer at all times, in all things. Because Jesus defeated sin and death, we can overcome every storm, and prayer is our first line of defense. “Trust in Him at all times, O people, pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.” Psalm 62:8.

The instruction from this week's lesson in the Psalms is simple. When you find yourself in troubled times, cry out to the Lord. "Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you!" Psalm 102:1 God hears you, He loves you, and He has a plan for your life. In the meantime, be the friend you need. You can find the teaching now posted to Fisher.
