Thursday, February 11

Pour out your hearts before him.—Ps. 62:8.

 

Whether we serve in the field or at Bethel, we can develop deep affection for people and even for the place where we serve. If for any reason we have to leave, our heart feels torn. We miss those who stay behind, and we worry about them, especially if we had to leave because of persecution. (Matt. 10:23; 2 Cor. 11:28, 29) Further, taking up a new assignment—or even returning home—often means experiencing culture shock. Some who get a change of assignment may suddenly face unexpected financial challenges. They may feel uncertain, insecure, and discouraged. What can help? Stay close to Jehovah. (Jas. 4:8) How can we do that? By trusting in him as the “Hearer of prayer.” (Ps. 65:2) Jehovah can do “more than superabundantly beyond all the things we ask or conceive.” (Eph. 3:20) He does not limit himself to what we specifically ask for in our prayers. He may do the unexpected, beyond anything that we could ever think of, to solve our problems. w19.08 21 ¶5-6

Jehovah hears our prayers even it is about our uncertainties, insecurities and discouragement with the changes of our assignments. He solve our problems beyond our expectations.

 Sometimes we want relief from our problems now and not have to wait for the Kingdom to fix all our problems. This wicked world can attack our faith and make us wonder, Is God really listening to our prayers. We cannot fall victim to this kind of thinking and cause it can undermine our faith. Jehovah is the hearer of prayer and knows the best time when  to and how to answer our prayers. Trust in him, for he is our God and caring father.
