Psalm 105

Psalm 105 is titled "God's Fidelity to the Promise," in my NABRE Bible.

Psalm 105:4-5 Rely on the mighty Lord; constantly seek his face. Recall the wondrous deed he has done, his signs and his words of judgement. (NABRE)
Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgements he uttered (ESV)

We are called to rely on God and seek his strength when ours is failing. There are so many times in life where we may not think we can handle the situation. Yes, there is the familiar saying "God won't give us more than we can handle." But in those moments, it seems like an elephant on our chest. God wants us to seek him, to use his strength to get through those moments, for us to allow him to carry us through. He wants us to remember all the times people struggled and suffered, and he brought them through, and he wants to do the same for us.

We are never truly alone. It can get really dark sometimes in the world. We can feel lost or abandoned by those we trusted, by those we loved. But our God is always there. He is the light in the darkness. He is the light that chases away the darkness. His love for us has overcome darkness. It has defeated death. If you ever feel the darkness caving in, please know you are not alone! Please contact someone, anyone, to walk with you through it. Do not be ashamed to struggle. Do not be ashamed to admit fear or defeat. Let someone help carry your burden. God is right there with you, friend, through it all. And he has some mighty strong angels that walk this earth.

If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, please reach out for help. I promise you, these angels want to help you.
