1 I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me.
2 In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted.
3 When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Heart Conditions:
Share about the quite accumulations of plaque in arteries. How it just shows up one day; no! It is a condition that has been there for quite sometime and it can kill you!
25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
Troubled Heart: to cause one inward commotion, take away his calmness of mind, disturb his equanimity.
Equanimity: mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation.
Singleness of Heart: A spiritual state characterized by undivided devotion and loyalty to God.
The way we carry our troubles reflect much of our faith.
Rather that Faith is in how bad it is.
Or rather I believe my God will see me through.
12066 It is distrust of God to be troubled about what is to come; impatience against God to be troubled with what is present; and anger at God to be troubled for what is past.
Simon Patrick
1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
A troubled heart keeps us from receiving what the Holy Spirit would speak to our hearts.
25 “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
28 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
29 His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech!
30 Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.”
31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
So how do we overcome troubled hearts?
Believe it or not the bible has an answer for us!
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;
6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Reasonableness: Gentleness
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Let us ask God to remove anything that would cause us heart issues.
