Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. Psalm 86:6

 

When you have something heavy on your heart, what do you normally do? For most, it’s pick up the phone and contact someone very close, so you can share with them your burden. And for the most part, the person receiving your cries for help will offer some form of assistance either by action or words, but is that truly what you need?

 

When you lift your burden to the Lord, He already knows in advance what’s heavy on your heart and is waiting to receive your call for help. When you acknowledge to Him your needs, you become more keenly aware of His presence and within time can witness His awesome hand working in your situation. Sometimes He might appear slow to respond, but know He is working behind the scenes to bring the best result possible.

 

The next time you encounter trouble, call out to God. He will respond with help, far beyond what your closest friend can offer. Trust Him with today’s journey and the Lord will direct your steps so you can delight in your way.
