Day 14, Lord, day and night, let me hear Your Holy Word
Let us be silent in nature while praying and wait for the Lord. He will give the words through His Spirit to pray because the Spirit is inspiring us and interceding for us in front of God. Romans 8:26–27 (NJB): 26 And as well as this, the Spirit too comes to help us in our weakness, for, when we do not know how to pray properly, then the Spirit personally makes our petitions for us in groans that cannot be put into words; 27 and he who can see into all hearts knows what the Spirit means because the prayers that the Spirit makes for God’s holy people are always in accordance with the mind of God. Then again be silent and meditate the mercies of our Lord towards us sinners. Stop our thoughts and worries of this contemporary world; all this will decay. Our worries and doubts will be hindrance to approach our Lord.
How our Lord will help us no one knows. He will be there in all our troubles and tribulations Wisdom of Solomon 18:21 (NJB): ’for a blameless man hurried to their defence. Wielding the weapons of his sacred office, prayer and expiating incense, he confronted Retribution and put an end to the plague, thus showing that he was your servant.’ Jesus is coming, the spotless and blameless to redeem us by his sacred office, the prayer and incense. How wonderful it is if our Lord hear our prayers as well as when we hear His voice, His Word.
