Remembering God in Times of Trouble

Psalm 77:1-3  I cry out to God!  I cry out to God and He hears me.  When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; my hands were raised at night and they did not grow weary.  I refused to be comforted.  I remember God, and I groan; I mediate, while my spirit grows faint.

Doubts and fears arise from the lack and weakness of faith.

Psalm 77:11-13  I will remember the Lord's deeds; indeed, I will remember Your awesome deeds from long ago.  As I meditate on all Your works, I will consider Your awesome deeds.  God, Your way is holy.  What god is like our great God?

The remembrance of God's works serves as a powerful remedy against distrust of His promises and goodness, for He is unchanging.

Psalm 77:16-19  The waters say You, God; the waters saw You and writhed.  Indeed, the depths of the sea quaked.  the clouds poured rain; the skied rumbled.  Indeed, your lightning bold flashed.  Your thunderous sound was in a whirlwind; Your lightning lights up the world; the earth becomes agitated and quakes.  Your way was through the sea, and your path through mighty waters, but Your footprints cannot be traced.

If I have entertained doubts, I should immediately redirect my thoughts to meditate on God, who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, so that with Him He might freely give us all things.
