Psalm 94:18-19 
If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. 
In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul. 

Application: 

In Psalm 94:16–19 God was the psalmist only comfort, for God alone could stand on his behalf against evildoers (94:16). Therefore, when cares overwhelmed him to the point that he was ready to throw in the towel, he put his full trust in God, whose comfort brought him joy (94:18–19). When you are dominated by worry, amp up your confidence in God so that he can relieve the pressure and anxiety you’re experiencing.*

As we navigate the challenges that accompany anxiety, we can find solace in the comforting nature of God. The psalmist expresses that amidst the multitude of anxieties, “Your comforts delight my soul.” This declaration illustrates that divine comforts can uplift our spirits, providing peace even in turbulent times.

When fear and worry threaten to consume us, it is essential to embrace God’s presence. Acknowledging our vulnerabilities—like when we feel that our foot might slip—is the first step toward reliance on His mercy. The promise that His mercy will hold us up encourages us to surrender our worries and trust in a higher purpose.

The reflections from Psalm 94:18-19 remind us that while life’s journey can often be filled with anxieties, we have the assurance of God’s comfort and unwavering support. When we feel overwhelmed, we can take comfort in the fact that we are held up by His mercy, guiding us gently through the storm. As Paul wrote to the Philippians, make your request known to God, and His peace will guard your heart in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
