Trusting God in
Hopeless Situations
Psalm 3:1-8
In Psalm 3, we find David running for his life because his
son’s revolt. The prayer he pens is
considered a lament psalm, one that he wrote early in the morning. Three things we learn from this psalm about
trusting God when all seems hopeless.
First, life will present us with circumstances that seem
hopeless. This is often caused by
adversity and feelings of abandonment from people and God (1-2).
Second, it is paramount that we don’t allow the
circumstances to dictate our outlook on life.
David, focused on the hope that he had in God’s protection, victory,
comfort, and faithfulness (3-4).
Third, when we allow our upward look to God determine our
outlook on life, it results is calmness, courage, and confidence to face the
seemingly hopeless situations of life (5-8).
