Message in Brief

In this sermon, Pastor Ratna Maitra shares a daily devotional based on Psalm 120:1, emphasizing that God hears our cries when we are in distress. She discusses how humans often seek help from relatives or friends, yet true help and deliverance come from God, who created us and knows us intimately. Pointing to the Psalms of Ascents (Psalms 120–134), she highlights how God's people sang and praised Him while traveling to Jerusalem, remembering His mighty deeds. She encourages believers to remain persistent in prayer, hold fast to God's Word, and rely on the Holy Spirit during difficult circumstances, knowing that God fights for His people and grants true peace.
