Calling 911 (for Help)



If you are a regular reader of Encourage Me, my prayer is that I have managed to show you how relevant the scripture is to your life today. Whatever solutions you need the Bible is the answer. An Internet tool like www.biblegateway.com can help you immensely in searching for what you need.

Did you know the book of Psalms covers a variety of topics that are critical to your world today? Below is a partial topical list (and where it’s found in the book of Psalms). Have fun in discovering what you find.


1.   Anxious-4
2.   Burned Out-6, 63
3.   Confused-10, 12, 73
4.   Criticism-35, 56, 120
5.   Death-6, 71, 90
6.   Depressed-27, 34, 42, 43, 88, 143
7.   Discrimination-54
8.   Doubts-34, 37, 94
9.   Fearful-3, 4, 27, 46, 49, 56, 91 118
10.  Forgiveness-32, 38, 40, 51, 69, 86, 103
11.  Healing-6, 41
12.   Impatient-13, 27, 37, 40
13.   Joy-9, 16, 26, 126
14.    Leadership-72
15.    Money-15, 16, 17, 49
16.   Old Age-71, 92
17.    Self- Esteem-24
18.    Success-18, 112, 127, 128
19.  Unfocused-14, 25, 39, 49, 90
20.    Worried-37

Be bold, and ask your Heavenly Father to answer your request (whatever it might be). What have you got to lose? Maybe your request will be His choice to answer. Dig into your Bible like you’re a prospector mining for jewels (or gems). (After all, what’s more valuable than God’s perspective on your reality?) Be sure to get with the Almighty’s plans very soon.
