This morning, I sat down to pray, and no words came. My heart was too heavy, grieving, sad, and burdened. I sat there for about ten minutes, trying to find something to say, but nothing. I got frustrated and picked up my phone, deciding against prayer. Immediately, as I opened the phone, an article popped up with the answers to my unspoken prayer. The article was addressing everything I wanted to say to God but couldn't. It brought me comfort, relief, and peace. Even though I couldn't find the words to say, God was listening to the cry of my heart.
I don't know what you are going through right now, but God has not left you alone. He is there listening to the silent cries. He sees the tears, the pain, the heartbreak, and He cares. God is saying, if only you would cast your cares on me, If only you would sit in silence with me. I can make you whole. I can guide you, direct you, and give you my peace. My child, I have you in the palm of my hands, and I will never leave you.
