Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress. Have mercy upon me and hear my prayer.  Ps. 4:1

Do you feel distressed, depressed, and like giving up?  There’s a better answer than a candy bar.  Take your problems and the frazzled emotions they caused to the Lord.  Ask for mercy and help — and He will be good and answer.  He uses distress to enlarge  you spiritually — to make you a bigger, stronger person inside.  That’s far better than being “enlarged” on the outside by that sugary snack!
