Psalms 4:1-8

1. How does the psalmist respond to distress?

The psalmist asked God to give him relief from distress and be merciful to him and hear his prayer. He reminds himself not to sin during anger and search his heart and be silent. He offers right sacrifices and trust in the LORD for the LORD have filled his heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound.

2 Corinthians 1:3-7

2. How does Paul worship in a time of trouble?

Paul worshipped, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort."
