Devotional Reflection
God still sees and hears now just as He did when the Israelites were suffering in Egypt and cried out for assistance. But now, in addition to hearing due to His omnipotence, He also hears thanks to the intercession of His Son, Jesus, who is our Savior. Jesus was present. Jesus had to deal with the threat of death as well as the agony of suffering and mockery. According to Jesus, God not only hears our pleas for aid but also suffers alongside us. That's why He arrived. He serves as our assurance that God is active, compassionate, and ultimately saving.
Prayer
Please be with those who are carrying a tremendous burden of misery and pain, God, Father, and Savior. Some of these people I personally know and pray for. Others I don't know, but they still need Your support, courage, and grace to help them get through their difficult times. Bless them with tangible proof of Your concern. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
God detests individuals who take advantage of others who are weak, experiencing a variety of challenges, or in precarious circumstances. People who exploit the vulnerable, underprivileged, or impoverished need to understand that God is watching and will hold them responsible. Those who are in need must maintain their faith in God, believing that He sees them, cares about them, and will provide His aid when it is needed. Those of us who fall into neither group must labor for the blessing and deliverance of those who are struggling and going through adversity.
Prayer
Oh gracious God, please bless a few folks I know who are going through serious hardship and heartache. Please let me be your conduit to them. But if you could, Father, give them your Spirit so they can have the stamina and fortitude to persevere. Bless them with plain, divine deliverance so that everyone will see your grace and give you praise. In Jesus' name, I ask it. Amen.
