In the storm your voice is heard
25 June 09
As we’ve read in the past few blogs, there are many countries that are in need of our prayers, including our own country. We can never pray enough, in fact praying is the best thing we can do because we’re talking one to one with our Father.
Do you ever think that in the midst of what we hear is going on in Iran, South Korea, Eritrea and even the financial problems in England that our God is not really listening? Does it seem to you that Christ doesn’t care? Well take heart, in the words of J R Miller he said,
‘The roar of the storm he did not hear in his sound sleep; but the moment there was a cry from his desciples for help he instantly awoke. What a revelation of heart we have here! He is never asleep to his people when they call him. Amid the wildest tumults of this world he always hears the faintest cry of prayer. Nor is he ever too weary to listen to the supplications of human distress’
This was taken from Mark 4: 35-41, when Jesus calms the storm, taken from J R Millers book of devotions in 1890.
So on this day, lets not loose heart when we don’t get an answer from God but let your faith arise because as you call out to Christ, he awakes, draws close to you and listens to your every word. Lets also use this to continue to pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters and know with confidence Christ is with them.
