Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea;
hear me and answer me.My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
 at the voice of the enemy at the stares of the wicked;
 for they bring down suffering upon me and revile me in their anger.
My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death assail me.
Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.
I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
       I would fly away and be at rest-

  Ever felt like that?  We all have.  Sometimes the things we face in life overwhelm us.  It gets hard to see the light because of all of the storm clouds.  I like reading the Psalms because, the writer, David kept it real!  He did what we are supposed to do, he spoke His heart to God, he admitted when he had messed up and was honest about the times he just felt like flying away from it all.  Then after he had spoke his peace he would make an appeal to God and trust Him to handle the situation for Him.  

  The storms and people who rub you the wrong way are sure to show up in our lives, and yes they just might press us to the point that we just want to fly away from it all, but be encouraged because God is always there to help us, take a cue from Jesus' playbook, who in His darkest hour made the same type of appeal that David did, He admitted He wanted to fly away but placed his trust in God completely, placing God's will above His desire to flee.

Today's Challenge: I encourage you to follow David & Jesus' example.  Be honest with God.  Admit when you feel like running but then resolve to place God's Will for your Life above your own.  Trust Him for He will never leave nor forsake you.
