Sometimes when I try to read an entire book of the Bible, I plow through, overlooking key passages. However, as I read this morning before work I was touched by the words of David. “For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone done to the pit.” David’s hope was in the Lord. Thus, when David called out to God in prayer he expected to be heard.
There are times like the current when I doubt the power of God to change my situation. The problem is not with God, rather with my lack of faith and belief in the power in the Lord. Matthew 7:7-12 reminds believers to ask God for specific things, continue to seek the Lord for answers to your question and to be persistent by expecting God to act like Abraham in Genesis 18:16-33.
Psalm 28:1 is a great reminder of how the Lord yearns to hear our voice. God is waiting for us to take time out of our busy schedule each day to spend time with him. Luke 15:20 illustrates the love of God through a father forgiving his prodigal son. God is the rock, a strong foundation in times of trouble. Cling to the Lord and He will lift you up! Claim this promise of David each time you enter God’s presence in prayer!
