A Scripture and a Prayer: “Hear Our Cry”

“O Lord, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you. May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.” (Psalm 88:1-2)

Prayer:

Lord, I realize this prayer may seem like a contradiction: we believe You have saved us, yet we still cry out to You day and night in our distress. Further, knowing You heard us when we cried out for salvation, we ask You, Lord, to hear our cry again, knowing You always hear and always save. And while we still believe, we remain a broken and cracked vessel in need of Your help. Therefore, as the father of the demon-possessed son, we cry out to You, “Lord, (we) believe; help (our) unbelief!” So, thank you, Lord, for hearing and answering our cry. AMEN
