Remember if you are looking for help and hope in your life you have a Shepherd that responds to your cry. God is never far off and He patiently waits for you, as His child, to bring the tangled mess of your life to Him so He can unravel your knots and straighten out your path. God hears your feeble voice when you reach out to Him in prayer no matter how great or how small your burden may be. Lay your burdens at the altar of prayer and you will find rest for your soul. You will exchange God's peace for your anxiety and God's grace for your frustrations... let Jesus teach you to walk in the freedom of His presence... He is your Shepherd...

When you tire of living apart from God's grace you will be drawn into God's presence to find what your wandering heart has been longing for. The revelation that God is what you have always needed will cause you to desire to know Him more personally and more intimately. This desire will compel you to seek Him in the Word and to spend time personally worshiping Him. You will lose sight of earthly distractions and your heart will be caught up with a vision of your heavenly destination instead of being distracted by the earthly journey. God's Spirit calls you to come and rest awhile in His presence and taste His goodness... you will be satisfied...

What advantage has the poor man who has learned how to walk [publicly] among the living [with men’s eyes on him; for being poor is not the secret to happiness either]? What the eyes see [enjoying what is available] is better than [craving] what the soul desires. This too is futility and chasing after the wind.

Psalm 34:8-9 (NAS O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! O fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want.
