Day 8 ~ Seeking God’s Face
“Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord,” Jeremiah 29:12-13a
The Bible makes a distinction between prayer and calling out or crying out to God. In our impossible circumstances, which we cannot change with our own resources, crying to God is a humbling reminder of our total inability to bring change apart from God’s intervention. God promises that if we call out to Him, He will listen.
Not only will He listen, He promises to answer us from heaven (Jeremiah 33:3). God’s response from heaven includes revelation: “I will show you great and mighty things you do not know” (Jer 33:3). With supernatural power He will deliver and accomplish His redemptive purpose in our circumstances. The context of this promise is the transformation of the city. He declares, “This city will bring Me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it.” (Jer 33:9).
Prayer Points:
*God, in my hopeless situation I call out to You. Deliver me and my loved ones from all our bondage and captivity!
*Lord, would you deliver me from passivity. I cry out in desperation for deliverance. Help my unbelief!
