Steps of Faith for the Deaf

Hello,
Here are some verses from Psalms 40:—–from New Living Translation of the Bible
King David is speaking:
“I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair, (sadness, feeling hopeless)—-out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing,—a hymn of praise to our God.
Oh, the joys of those who trust in the Lord.
As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord is thinking about me right now.”

King David was always open and honest about his feelings. Even when he was “down” and feeling awful about things. He told the Lord just how he felt.
He trusted that God would be like a good Father and comfort him and help him with his troubles.
God was faithful. David knew He would be.
God will do the same for us. Tell the Lord your true feelings. Tell him all your troubles.
Wait for him to help you and work things out for you. Give him thanks and praise.
David said that God gave him a new song to sing. God will do the same for you.
Vs. 17 David said: As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord is thinking about me right now.
Have you ever thought about that? The Lord thinks about you and is aware of you always.
Good-bye for now. I’ll write again. Sincerely, Joyce Webb
