God is our secure refuge, When we say peaceful refuge, we are talking intimately about a spiritual oneness that we generously share in Christ in the Trinity. We are completely secure in this dependent relationship. We are prone to incorrectly conclude that when sore trouble arrives there is something in us that has recklessly caused the trouble. Something in us causes our relationship with Him to change. We are prone to conclude that because we are in terrible straits of our circumstances or our sin that our relationship changes. But because we are adopted by our Father in a trinitarian closeness, we therefore are accepted with His affectionate smile.
Thats why we must take refuge in Him. We remain in Him, we must reflect heartfelt thoughts after Him, so that we maintain cheerful confidence He is efficiently handling everything without our effective help. There is such a tension resting in Christ, and being in the cruel world, with the arduous struggle of the flesh and the devil.We are easily led astray to trust in ourselves. We must take refuge in Him, enjoying peace in the midst of the most sever circumstances. Maintaining eternal peace, we must live in the favorable attitude of prayer, that God is going to deliver us and it does not matter how long we wait under the burden of the circumstances.We must genuinely have one focus that God will miraculously recover us. Unless we assuredly have that deep desire we will merely increase the anxiety.

 Its not the condition of our hearts nor the action we bear that will cause us to be any closer to Christ, and improve the relationship for the better. It is understanding our need of deliverance.  He will deliver in His time. God must not merely retain our trust that He is sovereign, but that our circumstances are encircled by Him. There is nothing that will penetrate the circle that He has not planned. He must be the beginning of our rescue and the end. He must be the lone purpose in our rescue.
Once we see that nothing will deliver us, except Him then we rest in Christ.
Unless we have this cause and effect relationship firm in our minds we will have very little desire to pray. It is because we see the depth of our inability to do anything about our relationship to Him in the circumstances.The height of His ability that we have confidence in prayer. The amount of trust in Him being instantly present to us will determine the kind of confidence we have in seeing the circumstances through faith.  The answers evolving in our circumstances. There must be a direct sense of His presence in our deepest  pain from the trial. Because we are in a relationship with an intimate friend, we must acknowledge we are indwelt by the triune God, with an immediate power. His power to deliver surpasses all the weight of any trial. It is urgent and imminent.
It is not only immediate and forthcoming, but we are in and eternal immediate powerful nearness. It is constantly attainable, in the worst sin, in the worst circumstances, and in the worst pain we can experience. He is uninterested in exposing but in delivering. He is always the same no matter what. He does not change. That refuge remains the place we constantly go to. We are only required to rest in Christ. It is not the action of the flesh that will frequent the place of resting but it is the confidence we acquire in His power. The confidence we command comes as we pray with wisdom understanding that we are incompetent and He is abundantly able.
