How difficult life can get. How terrible hard times can become. It seems almost impossible to come out of the dark clouds on some days. On other days, you don’t even remember the possibility of having a better day. Yet, in all these things, through all these challenges, God is a refuge for those who seek Him.
When you can afford to trust God at all times, you have found the key to repetitive victory. And that doesn’t mean it’s easy to do or that when you trust God, then all of a sudden, things fall into place within the next 24 hours. If that's the case, it would have made it easy for everybody to trust God, right? Because we don’t know for certain when God will come through, it's challenging for us to put our full trust in God. But one thing we know for sure is that He is a perpetually unfailing safety, a tower of defense for those who come to Him.
Have you learned to pour out your heart before God and tell Him exactly how you feel when the issues of life are eating you up? You must learn to treat God as a friend who cares to hear what you have to say. Don’t go down the tough paths of life as a one-man commando battling all the opposition alone. God wants to help you and carry you through in safety.
Therefore, we must learn the sacred art of trusting God. We must also be open enough to pour our hearts before Him and just let Him do what must be done. For in the Lord is the place of covering from the diverse assault of arrows that consistently fly against us.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your love and compassion. I thank You for Your goodness and the life that You have given me. I know that it is because of Your grace that I remain alive. Help me trust in You with all of my heart and soul. Teach me to wait on You and be open to You while I do so. I offer my heart to You as an open sacrifice. See-through me and alter what should be altered in my heart. Give me the right perspectives to view life so that I may enjoy the power of Your presence always. I am confident because You are my rock and salvation. You are the refuge that protects and hides me from the insurrection of my enemies.
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
