TO THE LORD

Today's reading: Psalm 120-121

"I took my troubles to the Lord, I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer." Psalm 121:1 NLT

In a day and age where Wikipedia informs, Dr. Google diagnoses and Facebook determines lifestyle, going to the Lord is almost a lost art.

Taking polls among friends in regards to what to do is commonplace.

Instagramming a random # for advice is the norm. 

But prayer?

To some it's old fashioned, an ancient practice, for those who might live in a convent or a nunnery.

But for some of us, it's life-giving!

It's detrimental to our well being--mentally, emotionally and physically!

It's a learned response to the world's attempts at knocking us down!

It's vital to our sanity!

It's the only hope we have!

We take our troubles to the Lord. We cry out to Him. We watch as circumstance after circumstance He answers, moves, guides or provides--or completely hides from our watching eyes.

He answers our prayers!
