I Called And He Answered

August 07, 2026

“I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy mountain.” Psalm 3:4 (NLT)

We have all seen shows on TV where someone is arrested and during the integration they will request two things, their lawyer and their one phone call. In watching these shows it is always interesting who people call with their one phone call. Some call their spouse, others call a parent or a friend they believe can help them. When we are in trouble or when we are going through the storms of life, who do we call first? The Scripture reminds us, I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy mountain. I encourage you today that no matter what is that you. are going through or facing, to cry out to The Lord. Sometimes with tears in your eyes you are going to have to remember to cry out to The Lord. Your family or friends may not always be able to answer you, but The Lord will always answer you. When you call out to The Lord, do it in faith knowing that The Lord will answer you when you call. Troubles and trials will come, and you should aways remember that when they do, there is no not to worry because you can call on The Lord and He will answer you every time. I am so grateful that no matter the time or place I can call on The Lord and He will answer me from His holy mountain and help me through all my struggles. Since I know that The Lord will always answer me when I cry out to Him, I have no doubt, “It’s My Year To Get My Thing From My God!”

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for hearing me when I call. Thank you that when I call on you I know that I don’t need to call anyone else because you are more than able and capable of helping me and seeing me through. Thank you Lord for always being there for me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
