Seek God in Your Trouble
Commentators unanimously agree that the psalmist models the wisest response to suffering: he immediately and persistently sought the Lord. Instead of turning to worldly distractions or solely to human help, his first and constant action was prayer. This serves as a powerful reminder for believers to turn to God as their primary source of help in any trial.
