“I am crying aloud to You, O True God, for I long to know Your answer. Hear me, O God. Hear my plea. Hear my prayer for help.” -Ps 17:6
Have you ever cried out to the Lord, but felt like God was silent? Perhaps you have found yourself wondering what is the purpose in praying because God does not appear to be answering you.
In those moments, know that you are not the first to feel this way. The Psalmist cried out to God in a similar fashion and remained hopeful that he would see God’s answers. Today, whatever you’ve been crying out to God for, remain hopeful in knowing that God is faithful and will answer your prayers even if it doesn’t look like how you imagined.
