V 2 : In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord.
Whatever be the trouble, you go through, Seek the Lord.
Whether its health, finance, relationship, seek the Lord.
In your trouble, whom do you seek.
In Matthew 6:9
Lord Jesus when teaching how to pray.
First thing in the prayer He teaches is Our Father in heaven.
What does this mean.
Before you ask for anything, first let there be a relationship.
Whom do we call father. Can we call any outsider as Father.
With whom you have relationship, them only we can call Father.
Your prayer doesn't start by just asking whenever you need something.
The Lord is clearly telling here that your Prayer starts with the relationship.
Do we have that relationship where we commune with Our God daily and can boldly declare God as our Father.
The psalmist says, In my trouble, I sought the Lord.
Your seeking of the Lord starts with that relationship.
