and I in the Father.” Again they tried to arrest him, but Jesus escaped from their hands. He went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John had baptized, and there he stayed. Many people came to Jesus, and said, “John worked no miracles, but he spoke about you, and everything he said was true.” And many in that place became believers.

Reflections
IN MY DISTRESS, I CALLED ON THE LORD AND HE HEARD ME
This is a very consoling verse of the Psalm 18. When we are in distress, we need badly someone we can talk to, who will listen to us, who will help us in our need. Just knowing that someone is listening to us is already a help even if the situation does not change. It is consoling to know that we can always call on the Lord who always hears us. Maybe we may not experience right away the help we are asking for but we are sure that we are heard. Most of the time God uses people as messengers to tell us that we have been heard. All of a sudden we meet a friend, or a relative or maybe even a stranger who would show us the way we must go or will help us to decide what course of action to take or not to take. As Scripture says in other verses, “Seek and you shall find, ask and it shall be given unto you.”
