God calms the overwhelmed

In Psalm 55, it starts with a constant plea for help, a reminder to God to both listen and answer our prayers.

Troubles come from all sides, in both verbal and physical threats.  It wears on one's mind.  It becomes unbearable.  It becomes overwhelming.  Like the wings from a dove, we wish to fly far, far away to the solitude of the wilderness.

With the Lord on your side, He confuses them, frustrates their plans.  Everything for our enemies falls apart, all thanks to God.

Even though our enemies are plentiful, one should always be careful and mindful for those closest to us, for they can betray us if their heart grows wicked with evil.

The Lord will always rescue us and keep us safe.  He will wage war against our enemies.

In verse 22, it says, "Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you."  I have repeated this myself for many years and it is spelled out perfectly in this Psalm.  Whatever is troubling you, give it over to Him and He will take care of you.
