Today it is my pleasure to read Psalm 107 for you in the New Living Translation. (I'll explain why). Four times the text says "LORD, help!" - These represent four situations in life where people get discouraged. So often our hope and faith flourish in blessings, but when trials come, we falter. This can often prove that our joy is based more on ourselves and our circumstances, than the enduring goodness of God.

Let's investigate different trials you might face this year. Some of this may be raging in your life right. Crying for the help of the Lord, in full faith, is about accessing wisdom and glory and power infinitely greater than your own and stronger than all your problems.  May we be a people of constant praise! May we tell the world - family, brethren and neighbor - that we cried to God and He answered with deliverance!

- Why is internal faith work so important to external life goals?

- What good is people, plans and a good attitude without trust in God?

- Do we cry "LORD, Help" in times of trial that are not our fault?

- Do we cry "LORD, Help" in times of trial that are absolutely our fault?

- What does God do with the storm, when we cry for His help amidst it?
