Dad's Ramblings -- The Desperate Heart

DESPERATE PRAYER
 
Daniel 9:19
 
" 'O Lord [Adonai], hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hasten, and act!' "
 
In Daniel's prayer, I hear the pathos and pain of a broken heart who knows that no one or nothing else can deliver them. It was a plea from a desperate heart. God hears that kind of prayer. I have heard prayers that command and demand God to do something, as though He was a servant or a genie in a bottle. But God is Adonai – Master. He is not our servant to do our bidding, but He is a loving Master who responds to the cries of desperate hearts when His people call out to Him.
 
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The Lord Adonai hears the pleas of a desperate heart.
 
Have a "desperate" day. Love you.
