Many times when we are struggling with many of life’s troubles we find ourselves trying to fix the promise. In Psalm 37, it tells us to trust in the Lord and wait patiently for him to act. We are not to worry or fret but we are to trust in him. I find when I dwell on the situation I become anxious and seem to make things worse. Psalm 37:8 tells us to cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in anywise to do evil. If we focus and concentrate on God and his goodness, we will find peace. God watches over u and he will direct our steps if we will only turn everything over to him and seek his advise: The steps of a good man, are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
