-TIME TO PRAY ~
Psalm 70
--
Make haste to
help me, O LORD!--Psalm 70:1 -
----
The time to pray is any time--especially when we're in crisis. Fear, worry, anxiety, and care are the most common occasions for prayer. It is when we are desolate, forsaken, and stripped of every human resource that we naturally resort to prayer. We cry out with the words of David, "Help, O LORD!" (Ps. 70:1).

John Cassian, a 5th-century Christian, wrote of this verse: "This is the terrified cry of someone who sees the snares of the enemy, the cry of someone besieged day and night and exclaiming that he cannot escape unless his Protector comes to the rescue."

May this be our simple prayer in every crisis and all day long: "Help, Lord!"

Any hour when helping others,
Or when bearing heavy care,
Is the time to call our Father,
It's the proper time for prayer.

--There is no place or time we cannot pray.

Yes, God is good all the time. He is available for us to call upon Him 24/7's. We never give up on the Sovereign One!

Evil happens in this fallen world. Yet God is far greater than evil! He is SOVEREIGN!
