Verse of the Day
A verse from an earlier day, with its reflection and prayer.
He heard my cry
“I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.”
Today's insight
Waiting is rarely easy, especially when your heart is burdened and you are crying out for help. Yet the psalmist shows that when "I waited patiently for the LORD," God was not indifferent or distant. The Lord "inclined unto me, and heard my cry"—He bent low to listen to every word. You can take comfort today knowing that your patient waiting is never ignored by the Lord.
Reflect
What unspoken burden are you carrying today that you need to place before the Lord while you wait for Him to answer?
Prayer
Lord, give me strength to wait patiently for You when my heart is weary. Thank You that You lean down to listen whenever I call. Please hear my cry today and sustain me with Your peace. Amen.
