Sweet Time Of Prayer!
"How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart daily?"
Psalm 13: 2
Why is life so hard? Why all the disappointments, fears, and
frustrations?And the uncertainty! No one knows what tomorrow
will bring. In Psalm 13, David processed his problems through
prayer, and by the end he was ready to say, “I will sing to
the
Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me” (verse 6).
Some of the reasons for our troubles are mysteries for now. But
this we know—God uses each tribulation to teach us more about
prayer. We’re unable to solve all the problems we face, but
God’s
power is unlimited and His hand is near.
When we do not know what to do, He promises to guide us.
When weakness comes, we can ask for His strength. When
worried about others, we can entrust them to Him.
Whenever we face turmoil, we have a direct line to our
Father, through prayer. He will never abandon us when
our troubles overwhelm us.
The hymnist said: “In seasons of distress and grief, my soul
has often found relief, / and oft escaped the tempter’s
snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer.”
"Prayer is the delight of the saint, the armor
of the soldier, and the supplier of the servant."
Robert G. Lee
