In Psalm 4, it seems there is chaos breaking out all around the Psalmist. Often when life gets hard we're quick to say, "God help! Change my circumstances!"

Pastor Klarc surprises Bobbie with a game - see if you can guess who is quoted! HINT: The quotes are movie character's final words. 2 Peter contains Peter's final words right before his death. If you knew when you were going to die what would your final words be?
