(Psalm 20:1)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Coupled with this idea of calling on God is the kind of answers He gives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He protects you (Psalm 20:1).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He sustains you (Psalm 20:2).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He accepts your offerings (Psalm 20:3).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He gives what your heart desires (Psalm 20:4).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He fulfills your requests (Psalm 20:5).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He gives victories (Psalm 20:6).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">All of these answers are conditional. They can only happen if we ask God for help. We can\u2019t trust in ourselves, our power, our strength. We can only trust in God to answer us in our time of trouble (Psalm 20:7). God is our Troublebuster. He is the One who can solve our troubles. We can stand firm because we know God will answer (Psalm 20:8). His answers don\u2019t take long. He answers on the day we call Him (Psalm 20:9).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Who you gonna call when you have any trouble? My Troublebuster God!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Prayer: God, I thank You that You are my Troublebuster God.
