I cry out day and night,
but you don't answer,
and I can never rest.
HEBREWS 5:7 (NTFE)
During the time of Jesus’ earthly life, he offered up prayers and supplications, with loud shouts and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death. He was heard because of his devotion.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Our cries to God never really fall on deaf ears.
DAILY FODDER
If God is so attetive to our desperate cries, why do things not work out to my liking so much of the time?
PRAYER
I'm grateful, God, that you always hear my cries. Forgive my frustration when things don't work out as I planned. Help me to realize your salvation, even though I can't see the big picture. I'm going to trust you with my most desperate moments, knowing in faith that you do have the big picture in mind and my best interests in your heart. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
