Evening: Psalms 42, 43; Ezra 4:7, 11-24; Luke 11:1-13
When people suffer - illness, loss, separation, depression - you long to help, to make things right. You have heard that comforting words or advice do not help. If you really want to help, you offer yourself. Your presence helps people most. You try prayer, and you wonder why you do not get what you ask for? Perhaps you do not know what you need? But Jesus teaches that the prayer for God’s Spirit never goes unanswered; then, the Spirit helps you with everything else ... And who knows, your presence may just be God’s answer to someone else’s prayer.
