Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19
Prayer, whether filled with joy or anguish, is heard by God. It is communication. It is walking and talking together with God. It is an altar of sacrifice, where we meet God and lay ourselves down before Him in total honesty with Him. In prayer, we empty ourselves like a sacrificial lamb lying on the altar with all of its blood draining out. When we lay our heart before God on His altar, He accepts it as our sacrifice.
In our pain and anguish, God hears our affliction. When pain comes, it is not a time to run away or to take refuge in drinks or drugs. It is not a time to scurry about, seeking a short-term, feel-good remedy. It is a time to get on our knees and face God. When He hears our cry, He will come down from heaven and take us back where we belong. He will straighten everything out.
Lay your prayers on the altar. Lay yourself on the altar. God will lovingly receive your sacrifice and respond with compassion.Posted via email from ..................The Last Call Digest
