'Trouble' in the Bible

Just as I considered your life valuable today, so may the Lord consider my life valuable and rescue me from all trouble.”

“Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Samuel asked Saul.“I’m in serious trouble,” replied Saul. “The Philistines are fighting against me and God has turned away from me. He doesn’t answer me anymore, either through the prophets or in dreams. So I’ve called on you to tell me what I should do.”
