‘When You Are in a Hard Place’

Day 1: Psalm 18:16-19 - “He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me. They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the Lord supported me. He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.”

Day 2: Psalm 34:6-8 - “In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!”

Day 3: Psalm 145:18, 19 - “The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them.”

Day 4: Psalm 119:50 - “Your promise revives me; it comforts me in all my troubles.”

Day 5: 2 Samuel 22:20-22 - “He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me. The Lord rewarded me for doing right; he restored me because of my innocence. For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not turned from my God to follow evil.”

Day 6: Psalm 121:1-3 - “I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber.”

Day 7: Psalm 32:7, 8 - “For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. [Interlude] The Lord says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.’”
