Psalm 37:5-8 - Our attitude.

Psalm 37 - What it means to me.

"Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil."  Psalm 37: 5-8

Commit, trust, be still, wait patiently, refrain from anger, do not fret... This should be our attitude when we bring something to God. Perhaps something in life is bothering us a great deal. Someone may be harassing or harming us. Maybe it seems like the world around us is full of evil. 

But God does not want us to be filled with negative thoughts. We can look up towards God and leave things with him. We can give our thoughts and feelings to him and ask for help to think in the right way.
