Hope for Today: Devotions for Depression & Anxietyنموونە

Constant Prayer

What a glorious mystery it is that the God of the ages is available to us at all times through prayer. He never disengages from us. He hears every cry—both the spoken and unspoken—of our hearts. We can be encouraged that God never tires of us. Though we grow weary of ourselves and others, he is full of kindness, mercy, and compassion to all who come to him in every single moment.

We cannot catch God at a bad time. He is always listening with love. It is hard for us to comprehend the possibility of something so wonderful when we are faced with limitations everywhere we look. But God is limitless in love. He is abundant in power. He is full of light that chases darkness away. There are no shadows to be found in him. May we never withhold or resist his wonderful love. It is the source of all the delight in our lives.

Wonderful God, you who are rich in mercy and never failing in faithfulness, you are the one I turn to again and again. Today, I won’t censor myself with you. I will constantly turn to you in conversation and in prayer. You are the best thing I’ve ever known. Be near even as I reach out to you.
