Psalm 17:6 says, “I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.” We can call on a number of things and people in our lives when we feel helpless or hopeless. We call on people, medications, alcohol, drugs, extravagant things, or even our jobs to provide some semblance of relief, but each of these sources can only provide a temporary answer. Only God can provide an answer with the power to sustain joy in times of trials, suffering, pain, fear, or hopelessness.
