They cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him. 1 Chronicles 5:20
Other translations render the above text, “He heeded their prayer.” Remember God spoke to Moses saying, “I have surely seen their affliction … heard their cry … for I know their sorrows” (Ex. 3:7). No matter what battle you are facing in life, claim the promise of Jeremiah 33:3, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not.” Little wonder the apostle Paul urges us to pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17). —William Gustafson
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble any where?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer. —J. Scriven
