This psalm begins, “I cried out to the Lord for help”, which is something I have done during many tough times. These verses encourage us to pour out our hearts to God. It is ok to call out to God with the full force of our emotions which may include tears, rather than just keeping things bottled up behind a pious exterior.

The writer sought the Lord at night stretching out his hands, his spirit grew faint, sleep was a problem and speaking about his troubles was hopeless, sound familiar? (verses 1-4).

He then changes his focus to remember what God has done in the past. The Hebrew meaning of the word remember, includes the idea of ‘paying attention to’, by letting that event effect the present. This was an act of his will, three times the writer says, ‘I will remember/meditate’ on God’s mighty deeds, especially seen in the crossing of the Red Sea (verses 10-20).

Our Red Sea event is the empty tomb when God in Jesus defeated death and gave new life to people who trust in him. We also remember times where God has come through for us in our lives.

Let’s be open before God and intentionally remember how he has been faithful in hearing our prayers in our previous tough times.

Do you need to cry out? To question? To remember? Do so now-or keep this psalm for a day when you do need it.

Cheltenham Network Church

CNC is a new kind of Church of England church. We work alongside the parish churches but don’t have our own parish. Instead we focus on the natural connections people have through the variety of ‘networks’ in their normal lives.

We are relaxed and informal and unashamedly family friendly with a membership made up from a wide range of backgrounds, ages and stages. Our desire is to be transformed by God and to transform the world around us.

For over 20 years CNC has worked in partnership with the churches in Charlton Kings under the name of Glenfall Fellowship. Since October 2015, with the generous support of the Cheltenham Deanery and the South Cheltenham Team Ministry, we are in a new season with a new name and a new venue.
