“Prayer With The Saints” By Kirk Hunt
‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV
Jeremiah the prophet had been jailed for speaking God’s truth. At least this time, he was not in the mud and muck of the dungeon. There in the prison courtyard, Jeremiah spent time in prayer with God.
Jeremiah had every reason to be depressed and broken. The nation of Israel had taken to worshiping Baal and other idols, within Jerusalem itself. Most of the other prophets of Jehovah God had been murdered. The Chaldeans of Babylon were marching their armies straight to the city of Zion.
It is no surprise that Jeremiah wrote Lamentations. What is surprising is that Jeremiah never gave up hope. Jeremiah had hope because he never stopped speaking with God.
Too often, saints forget to sit and talk with God. We rush from appointment, to event, to activity, without pause. Then we lay awake at night, too upset or anxious to sleep.
A saint who prays develops a deeper relationship with God. On the other hand, a saint who does not pray drifts away from God. Which Christian saint do you want to be?
God may take you farther, and faster, than you want to go. He might make you wait longer than you might like. In either case, He will speak wonders in your ears and majesties in your heart. Your soul will be awestruck, and satisfied, by speaking with Him.
Think: Prayer is a saint’s response to adverse situations.
Pray: “Lord, remind me to speak with You at all times.”
