How does a Christian deal with a monumental crisis?

Seek God

Thirst for God

· Long for God

· Look for God in the sanctuary

· Praise God

· Bless God

· Lift up hands in prayer

· Meditate during the night

· Hide in the shadow of His wings

· Follow close behind God

O GOD, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsy land where there is no water.

So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.

Because You have been my help. Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.

(Ps.63:1-8)
