The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble – Psalm 9:9
To whom do you run in time of trouble? Most people seek other people’s guidance or choose to pull on what they know, understand, or have experienced in the past. The problem with this approach is that our experience and emotions tend to cloud our judgment, and the people we ask for help are biased and have limited insight. While seeking counsel from others is a good first step, it should not be your last step. The best decision you can make is to seek and trust in God’s guidance and direction. Any other decision is akin to running into a shelter with broken down roof in the middle of a storm – it is better than nothing, but it is not the best. Since God is the only sure refuge, it is wise to be as close to Him as possible so that you can easily run to Him when trouble comes. Choose to be close to Him so that the storms of life do not pummel you when they come. How close are you to your refuge? The closer you are to Him, the less affected you are by the storms of life.
I will get closer to God so that the troubles of this world do not overwhelm me
