In Psalm 55v6, we read,/Oh that I had wings like a dove, for then would I fly away, and be at rest./,as I read those words I thought ,how many people feel like that,I must confess sometimes I have felt this.David who wrote those words in Psalm55,was feeling oppressed,it would appeared that a dear friend had betrayed him he was feeling crushed,he writes of the terrors of death,of fearfulness and trembling coming upon him,and so he cries out, for away to escape from all his troubles.The writers of scripture were real people they faced real problems,and expressed their deep concerns,and fears,don't let people [ or self ]condemn you[Romans 8v1]. David could run away,the enemy wants us always to be on the run,yes he says run with your fears,there is no hope, no way of escape.It seems that in the midst of all his fears,David puts the brakes on,v16,and he begins to pray continually,crying unto God,to deal with the situation,and its in verse 22,he declares,/Cast thy burden, upon the Lord, and He will sustain thee,He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved/. We are not exhorted to run away in blind panic,but to run to God, get alone with God,cast our cares upon, and stand still and see your God ,coming to our aid,He will not fail us.
A prayer....../Dear God ,when we feel like running away,help us to be still and know that You are God,in Jesus name Amen /
