The songwriter said -- "I trust in God! I know He cares for me! On mountain bleak, or on the stormy sea! Though billows roll, He keeps my soul; my Heavenly Father watches over me!"
It is a blessed privilege to trust my Heavenly Father at all times and in all circumstances! At least three times in the 37th Psalm, we are told not to fret!
"FRET NOT thyself because of evil doers . . . for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb."
"FRET NOT thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass."
"FRET NOT thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
Oswald Chambers has written:
"God is my Father -- He loves me, and I will never think of anything that He will forget, so why should I worry? Prayer is not only asking, but is an attitude of the mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural."
So let us praise the Lord for the blessed privilege to "come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need"!
