Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory. – (Psalm 50:15, NLT)
Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. – (Jeremiah 33:3, NKJV)
Last week, I joined a small group of ladies from my church to begin a book study in a book called Adventurous Prayer, by Patsy Clairmont. The verses from Psalm 50 and Jeremiah 33 listed above, are but a few of the many reminders throughout the Bible that we are invited to call on the Lord in prayer. Be it in trial or triumph, no matter how massive or minute, God is ready to hear all, and help us with whatever we need. One of the great reminders that I was afforded from the first few chapters of reading, was not only is He available to be called upon, but that I have the very ear of the Divine. For me, that is an extraordinary statement: “You have the ear of the Divine.” (Patsy Clairmont, Adventurous Prayer) May we go about our days in His strength, seeking our Savior in the knowledge that we each have His full attention, for He hears our every prayer.
We are invited,
To call on the Lord;
To seek Him always,
All grace He affords.
Help in our trouble,
Answers in our need;
Direction to walk,
From chains we are freed.
He’ll show us great things,
By His grace and might;
For we have His ear,
We are His delight.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that when we call on You, You hear us, answer us, rescue and show us the things that we need to know to navigate our way according to Your will. Thank You that though we are but one in billions, we have Your ear, individually. Forgive us for forgetting how we are known and heard the moment we call on Your Name. Teach us to trust You more, so that we would recognize the significance of even our smallest prayer unto You. Show us how to pray in power, so that we might learn to love all those around us according to Your perfect plan. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we call on You in all things and at all times, recognizing that we have the very ear of the Divine. Amen.
