Introduction

David cried out to the Lord, “Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. Psa.  61:2-3

This was one of many prayers King David prayed when he was overwhelmed. In fact, some of his best prayers came forth when he was overwhelmed and in the cave.  King David knew about going through tough times, and he didn’t allow the problems to defeat or define who he was in the Lord.  David would cry out to the Lord and trust the Lord to attend to his prayer.  David knew the trials he went through, and all his suffering wouldn’t be in vain.  He had faith to believe that God would be glorified through his problems. He was a man after God’s heart.

There will be times when we may fail to see how God wants to use our problems for good His good. Today, at this very moment, some of us are in our caves going through hard times, and we feel as though we are walking this journey all alone. You are not alone, the Lord promised He would never leave us nor forsake us. I pray as you meditate on the words in this book, you will be strengthened and encouraged to press your way.  I pray you will be led to the Rock; inspired to rise up and walk in the Spirit, hold fast, and understand that through the good times and the bad, the Father has never left you, and He is guiding you by His Spirit. The words in this devotional are written as if “The Still Small Voice” is speaking to you; encouraging and inspiring you to press your way to the “Rock" of your salvation.

God is at work in our lives, even when we don’t recognize it or understand it. When we take our eyes off the problems and acknowledge that the Lord is bigger than anything we will ever face, things will progress much easier. The Lord is fully capable of meeting and exceeding, every impossible situation, or decision we face. Doing the impossible is God's specialty.  We serve a God who looks at the hopeless situation and says, “It’s possible.”  Think for a moment of His greatness and remember a hopeless situation you encountered and how the Lord did the impossible in your life. PRAISE THE LORD!

When you learn to focus on His Greatness and His Love, and not your problem; God can and will do the impossible in your life.  No matter what you are facing; trust God to handle all that concerns you. All we must do is cooperate with Him by asking the Lord to reveal His perfect will in our situation; then trust Him and don’t put a time limit on God.  He already knows what time it is!  Let God be God and allow Him to work it out in His time, so all will be complete and in order. When you are abiding with Him, and He abides with you, He will cause the situation you face to unfold in victory. He will not fail you! Our God is supernatural and will never leave us and He delights in showing us Who He really IS!

Do you believe right now, that God can help you in your very difficult, seemingly hopeless situation? Do you believe that God is with you amid what you are going through? Do you believe Him when He says, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you? It is one thing to talk about an All-Powerful God, but it's another thing to believe that He is right there with you and available to you today. Do you believe that when your heart is overwhelmed that He will lead you to the Rock?  If you believe that the Lord God is more than able, then show Him how much you love Him, by counting it all joy as you go through valley days.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
