Psalms for Every Situation
Within the Psalms you’ll find every kind of emotion, trial, frustration, betrayal and hurt, as well as worship, rejoicing, excitement and wisdom. The beauty of the Psalms is that they allow for your emotions, but they always point you back to Almighty God, where your attention belongs.
It’s easy to put your eyes on the troubles you face—the wind and waves—but that won’t get you where you want to go. The Psalms put your eyes back on the One who loves you and will help you when you put your full trust in Him.
Here, we’ve put together a short—and certainly not exhaustive—list of Psalms for every situation. This is just a starting point. We recommend adding to the list and learning to make the Psalms a place you turn when you need assurance of God’s love and power.
When you are afraid…
When you are battling loneliness…
When you are fighting depression…
When you feel impatient…
When you feel weary…
When you’re dealing with enemies…
When you are enduring a trial…
When you have financial trouble…
When you need vindication or justice…
When you need wisdom…
We hope this list will be an encouragement to you. No matter what you’re facing, the Word of God is the answer. If you begin in the Psalms, don’t let that be the end of your study. Fill your heart and mind with the Word, and you will build unstoppable faith and triumph in any situation!
