I want to encourage you to remember the Lord's goodness and to be extremely attracted to His mercy and complassion. I've been reading in Psalm 107 several times lately and I want to remind you of these thoughts and promises.

"Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broken their chains in pieces" (verses 13, 14).

In verse 13 the word "distresses" means to be in a place of narrowness - trouble - anguish or oppression. It's also a word that gives a picture of "something hemmed in or constrained." This is a powerful picture of God's saving and healing power.

When they cried out to the Lord (real effective prayer) then He saved them out of their distresses. The Psalmist concludes with a great declaration:  "Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men" (verse 15).

I ask the Lord to reveal His heart to you in a new way and open the windows of heaven with many blessings. May the favor of the Lord rest upon you and His peace and provisions be released for you.
