He Answered My Prayer
Psalm 120:1 (NKJV): “I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.”
November opens the door to the serious cold weather. Even now, doctors are reporting an increase in illnesses such as colds and flu. When I was a little boy, I had the flu, and my fever had risen to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. I was afraid because I didn’t feel well, and I had never had a fever that high.
I called my mother late at night and asked for help, but my father came to my room instead. What happened next is something I will never forget. My father gave me some medicine, then he sat with me until I fell back to sleep. He stayed with me all night until morning, right beside me. I don’t know about you, but having a parent or someone stay with you all night when you are afraid is a really big thing for a small kid not feeling well. That is love in action.
God recently reminded me of what my earthly father did to show me He is the same way with me whenever I call on Him. God is willing to stay with you when you are afraid. He is willing to help you when you don’t feel good. When you feel confused or anxious, He is with you to give you peace. He comforts you when your mind is frustrated and not at peace. God is with you even when you can’t feel, see, hear, or touch Him. Jesus promised He will never leave or forsake you. So if His Word says that, we must stand in faith, knowing His promises are true.
Psalm 37:25 (NKJV) “I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.”
The enemy wants you to feel alone. He wants you to think that God has abandoned you, or that you did something wrong, which is why you are alone. Never forget this: If you did something wrong, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit may get quiet, but you are not alone.
Many of us may never fully understand what God sacrificed. I am eternally grateful that He did. If you need the Lord, sincerely call out His name for help. He sees you, hears you, and is ready to help you.
Be Blessed!
