Jesus hears your sobs when you weep, He knows exactly how you feel!

O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am week; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled. My soul is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord-how long?
Return, O Lord, deliver Me! O, save me for Your mercies’ sake!
For in death there is no remembrance of You; in the grave who will give you thanks?
I am weary with my groaning; All night long I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears. My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my enemies.
Depart from me all you workers of iniquity; For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord has heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer. Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly. Psalm 6 NKJV
 
David offers up a prayer of faith during a time of illness and distress.
 
My wife went to bed early. She has a serious illness. She is in severe pain. We have lived with one illness after another for many years. She has the health problems. My heart is broken. I am in distress.
 
When someone we love suffers we experience a roller coaster ride of emotions. Our hearts break. Fear can lead to depression. We may lose patience, become resentful and grow angry. We may feel guilty when we recognize those feelings.
 
Sometimes I cry out how long O Lord must we suffer? We should never try to stuff or hide our feelings and emotions. We should confess them, understand them and give them to Jesus!
 
Illness is a form of opposition. Death is the final enemy. They are defeated foes. Jesus conquered them. We may suffer illness. We will die. We will not be defeated!
 
Jesus Christ is a man acquainted with sorrows just as you and I are. He knows what a broken heart feels like. He knows anger. He also knows how much the Father loves us!
 
God hears our cries when we groan in pain. He will not give us more suffering and hardship than our faith can endure. Jesus is with us when our resting places become drenched in sorrows and tears.
 
God will not allow the voices of His witnesses to be silenced. All of us who love Jesus will raise our voices in thanksgiving and praise. We will outlive this fallen world!
 
I wrote those words four years ago. The trials and hardship of illness have come and gone. Today we are rejoicing in prosperity of spirit. We do not know what tomorrow may bring. God does. We do know He will not give us anything our faith cannot endure!
 
Raise your voice in thanksgiving and praise. God hears your weeping. God hears your prayer. He will answer. Jesus conquered sin and death. You are more than a conqueror through faith in the Risen Lord Jesus Christ!

    ​Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
     
    Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV
     
    The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ! 
     
    This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.
     
    The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.
     
    The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him! 
     
    Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved. 
     
    God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!
                       
    Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.
     
    We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus! 
     
    Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.
     
    God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!
     
    Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
