TODAY’S WORD…

Rise during the night and cry out. Pour out your hearts like water to the Lord. Lift up your hands to Him in prayer…

– Lamentations 2:19

REFLECTION…

God hears the prayers of all who seek Him – of the meek and humble; of the needful; of the discouraged; of the repentant and remorseful; of the disconsolate; of all those who go to Him in prayer…whatever the time of day, or night.

God knows the hearts of those who sincerely seek Him in prayer and He sends the grace and power, through Christ, which then works in us, combining with our feeble efforts, strengthening us, filling us with hope, and helping us to overcome.

QUOTE…

“Whoever calls upon the Lord must act as if he does not know the existence of any special time to be dedicated to implore the Lord, but always remains in that attitude of supplication. Whether we eat or drink, let us proclaim Christ, pray to Christ, think of Christ, speak of Christ! May Christ be ever in our heart and on our lips!”   – St. Ambrose

I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.   – Philippians 4:13

PRAYER…

My Lord, my God,

my Hope, my Salvation,

my Healer, my Consolation, my Strength!
