Psalm 86-6-7
Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy. In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me.
—Psalm 86:6-7
Thoughts on the Verse
Sometimes there are no immediate answers. We have prayed and cried and tried and gone sleepless, mourned and shouted. Still there are no answers. The days roll by in an agonizing parade of pain. Still there are no answers we can identify. What do we do? We go to the Psalms. We let them raise up our heart's cry. We are honest with the God of the entire universe and yet we can still anticipate mercy from him. We are convinced that in our troubles, he will not only hear us, but he will also care about what is happening in our lives.
Prayer
Almighty God, Healer of diseases and Mender of broken hearts, please hear the cry of those who are in such desperate situations. May your will be done in every one of their lives with tenderness, grace. Lord, be near me and help me see your answer to my prayers. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
—Psalm 86:6-7
