In my distress I prayed to the Lord,
and the Lord answered me and set me free.
(Psalm 118:5)
I love how the Lord not only hears me when I call to Him, but He both answers and sets me free. He promises to free me from pain and worry, and from the distress that keeps me from living a life full of joy in His presence. Thank you Lord, that You hear the cry of my anxious heart. Thank you for your promise to answer me. Thank you for setting my heart free.

I too thank the Lord for hearing my cry and setting me free. He is so good to us, all we have to do is ask.
Blessings,
AMEN my friend!
We but need to ask. He hears us and answers our cries. Isn’t that amazing?
Truly amazing my friend, that the God of the universe cares for me so much to answer my call!
Lovely choice of Scripture and photo Barbie… and Sherrey is right – we need to ask before He will hear our cry! Good reminder.
Yes, thank you Lord for always being there, always listening, always setting me free! Happy Sunday, sweet friend. I hope you’ve had a lovely week.

Beautiful and amen!
Thanks Kelli!
Yes, He came to set us free, and yet it is such a process for me to fully live in it…praying greater release into His freedom for us…blessings, Barbie
Me too Dolly. I don’t fully walk in this freedom, not just yet. But I am closer today that I was yesterday!
Yes, forward progress, my friend
So encouraging…with you 
Isn’t it beautiful that this verse is still relevant today? It wasn’t true just for the Psalmist but it’s true for you and I today…thousands of years after it was first penned. We are a blessed people. We truly serve a mighty and loving God!
That’s what I love about His Word. It’s so relevant today! Have a blessed week Diana!
It’s a beautiful thing that our worries are set free by a short conversation with God.
Thank you for sharing
