To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

My problem, Lord, is that I forget that You are a very present help in time of trouble. When faced with a problem, I am off trying to resolve it on my own and with my own wits. When will I learn to turn to You first in prayer and to wait for Your leading? When will I automatically seek Your face as the earth under me gives way and the mountains about me are cast into the sea? When, Lord, when?
