When trouble seems to go on forever – Psalm 13

Have you ever been in a situation where trouble seemed never-ending? This is exactly the situation David was in when he wrote this Psalm. This Psalm teaches us how to deal with these times.

This is part of the weekly Thought for the Week series. This series is designed to give a short, 10-15 minute ‘thought’, including a Bible reading and a prayer. At the moment I am working my way through the Psalms but I may take a break from them after a while and look at another part of the Bible.

How to deal with hostile people | Psalm 5 Reflection

How do you deal with people who are actively hostile to you? It’s something we in the church don’t often talk about – but we need to. I learnt this from personal experience – the Psalms helped me deal with this situation in my own life.

When troubles are overwhelming | Psalm 3 | Thought for the week

A short reflection on Psalm 3.

This week’s Thought for the Week is on Psalm 3 – a Psalm all about when our troubles and enemies seem overwhelming. One of the things I love about the Psalms is that they do not shy away from this side of life. They give us tools to be able to cope with difficulty and adversity. Psalm 3 is a good example of why I love the Psalms and why I think they should be a staple of everyone’s spiritual life.

I hope you enjoy.
