The writer of Psalms prays to Jesus and asks Him to not forget those who are suffering. Just like we are supposed to pray in those hard times, prayer is more important when things are going well. Continuing looking at prayer as a lifeline for all who have faith in God is where we find ourselves with Pastor Tom today. We can overcome our discouragement when the rains of life keep pouring down, if we focus our eyes on Jesus in prayer. Another advantage of honest praying and believing is growing closer to God.
