DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 16:1-17:19; Ezekiel 37:1-28; John 15:1-16

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3

These words of the Lord were spoken to Jeremiah while He was in prison. Are you facing a difficult trial at present? If so take these words to heart. First we note that prayer is commanded. God desires that all His children communicate with Him. Share with Him your deep concerns. Next we notice that His answer is promised. It may be immediate, or He may require us to wait, but He will answer. Finally we see that, through it all, our faith will be encouraged. He is able to do anything and delights to do the unexpected! —Pete Smith

The need is deep, the care is great, the burden hard to bear;
Roll it on Him with all its weight, and leave it resting there. —H. M. Moule
