There are times in our lives when we need a piece of scripture to lift us up. In such times very often we can't find the particular piece of scripture that we think meets our personal needs.
There are times when our heart cries out to the Lord and we feel that everything and everyone is against us. Depression seems to come out of nowhere. One day we feel so good, then something like a huge veil seems to cover us and there is no way out.
Very often the time we feel so cast down is the time that the Lord is pressing down so that He can get a firmer grip with which to lift us up. It is in God's timing, not ours, that He will lift us up. God is in control. We are His flock and the sheep of His pasture.
1 Peter 5:6-7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
