God listens

Hear my prayer, LORD!
Listen closely to my cry for help!
Please don’t ignore my tears!

~ Psalm 39:12 (CEB)

The Canaanite woman moved in closer to Jesus, dropped to her knees, and started begging, “Please, Master, you've got to help me!” ~ Matthew 15:25 (ABP)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God will not ignore your cries for help.

PRAYER
Help me, Lord! I know that I'm not perfect and that I don't really deserve your attention. But ultimately you're really all I've got. Help me to remember this in the heat of the moment -- the moment of desperation. I can be so forgetful and tend to freeze in panic when I'm facing challenges. I'm going to turn to you for relief. Amen.
