The Squeaky Wheel




Bahagian Pinjaman

GOD, I am feeling very very restless… :(

Luke explains that Jesus teach us the need to pray continually and not to give up, even if it appears that the answer to our prayer is delayed. God is certainly not an unjust judge who must be harassed before He responds to us. He is our loving Father who cares about us and hears us when we cry to Him. Regular, persistent prayer draws us closer to Him. It may feel like we are a squeaky wheel, but the Lord welcomes our prayer and encourages us to approach Him with our cries. He hears us and will come to our aid in ways that we may not expect.

As Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:5-8, constant prayer does not require long periods of vain repetitions. Rather, as we bring our needs before God day and night and walk with the One who already knows our needs, we learn to trust God and wait patiently for His response.

Lord, we know that You are good and long for us to come to You in prayer. Thank You for caring about every aspect of our lives. Help us to wait patiently and accept whatever comes from Your hand.

Don’t give up – God hears you when you pray!
