Meaning

This verse speaks to the power of prayer. When we are in distress, it can feel isolating. But this passage reminds us that we are not alone. God is there, listening to our cries. He hears us, no matter how far we think we are from Him. In our moments of need, we can call out to Him. It’s like having a friend who always picks up the phone when you call. You can pour out your heart, and He is attentive.

Sometimes, we think our problems are too small or too big for God to handle. But that's not true. He cares about every detail of our lives. This verse encourages us to reach out. It teaches us that vulnerability in prayer is a strength, not a weakness. You can be real with God. He wants to hear your struggles, your fears, and your hopes.

Live It

• Take a moment today to pause and breathe. Think about something that’s been weighing on you.
• Write down one thing you want to talk to God about. It could be a worry or a celebration.
• This week, when you feel overwhelmed, say a quick prayer. Just a few words are enough.

Reflect & Pray

Reflect: What’s on your heart that you need to share with God? How can you make prayer a regular part of your day?
Pray: God, thank You for always listening. Help me to remember that I can come to You anytime. I want to be honest with You about what I’m feeling.
