Love God Greatly: Growing Through PrayerSample
SOAP – Psalm 34:18
David reminds believers that God remains very near to those who are suffering and in sorrow. Believers can cling to this promise at all times. Believers will also find that it is when we are suffering and in pain that we give the Lord our closest attention, our most honest prayers, and our boldest requests. He has never gone away; it is simply that we have made Him the top priority in our life. Suffering and pain exposes our weakness and lack of control over this life of ours and causes us to lean in utter dependence on the Lord. The Lord works no less in the lives of those He loves whether they are in tragedy or in abundance. His love never dims. His compassion fails us not.
What heartache will you surrender to God today? Who do you know experiencing heartache that you can pray for?
Father God, I thank You that You are an ever present help when I am in trouble. When I begin to doubt Your presence, Your purpose, and Your plan for my suffering, remind me that it was in the midst of my pain that You took Your rightful place as My Heavenly Father. Remind me that You are bigger than my tragedies, and that through suffering and sorrow I will be able to experience a love and intimacy from You that I have never known before. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
