Living in an age of customer care, people know where to turn to when something goes wrong with products. But majority of the people do not know whom to turn to when problems come in their lives. No one can escape troubles, for life is a mixture of joy and sorrow. Of course, we only desire happiness to be there in our lives. But when a trouble comes we struggle to cope with it. Not being able to manage the problems of our lives, people look for someone or something to help us. Prophet Nahum gives us the best advice as to what to do in such times: “The Lord is good; he protects his people in times of trouble; he takes care of those who turn to him” (Nahum 1:7). May we believe in the goodness of God, and turn to Him in faith and hope, so that He may guide us and guard us perfectly.

Abba, thank You for instructing us to turn to You in times of trouble. Let Your Spirit increase our faith to believe in Your Unchanging Goodness, in Jesus’ Most Powerful Name, Amen.
