DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 25; Ezekiel 42; John 18:28 to 19:16
I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. Psalm 142:1
Generally speaking, caves are not pleasant places. In a figurative sense, multitudes of people live in caves today—caves of worry, discouragement, depression, doubts and loneliness. David was literally in a cave, hiding from Saul when he cried to the Lord. When in trouble, no matter what the circumstance may be, the very best thing we can do is seek God’s face and spread our need before Him. Today, fellow believer, are you in some kind of trouble? If so, take it to the Lord in prayer (Phil. 4:6-7; Heb. 4:14-16). —W. Ross Rainey
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer! —Joseph Scriven
