Dear Young Christian,
Today we lost an important paper. It had been kept in the storage compartment on the passenger side of our vehicle. My wife saw it yesterday, but today it was gone — vanished. We searched and searched and searched, but to no avail. Finally, we sat quietly, bowed our heads and prayed. One more search of the area and there it was. How thankful we were! It reminded us of the prayer of Asaph: “Call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me” (Psalm 50:15). And also the reminder, “Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24).
What a tremendous resource we have in prayer! The wonderful thing is, we can use it again and again, and we never run out of the resource. It doesn’t matter how many times, day and night, we need it and use it. “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear” (Isaiah 59:1). In every circumstance this week, DON’T FORGET TO PRAY!
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
