Many are the afflictions of the righteous but I deliver him out of them all.  If only My people would believe this.  I want so desperately to deliver all who are afflicted; but they will not bring their afflictions to Me.  Instead they sit and complain and give the enemy more and more territory to flourish in.  I am standing by at all times listening for the cries of My children; but I hear none.

Psalm 34:17-22 (NKJV)
17  The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18  The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20  He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.
21  Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22  The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
