In psalm 142 David reveals truth about God that all of us should see, take heed to, and cherish once put into practice. God knows which paths we need to take, we just need to ask Him for guidance and listen and put into action what He answers. We must realize when we are down and lonely, He will send to us the right person, at the right time. And most importantly, the most ideal place we can be spiritually, is to make God our home, a refuge we can go to no matter where we are geographically.
1 I cry out to the Lord;I plead for the Lord’s mercy.2 I pour out my complaints before Him and tell Him all my troubles.3 When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go,my enemies have set traps for me.4 I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me.5 Then I pray to You, O Lord.I say, “You are my place of refuge.You are all I really want in life. 6 Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors,for they are too strong for me. 7 Bring me out of prison so I can thank You.The godly will crowd around me, for You are good to me.”
