Griefs- sadness- hopes- anxieties- burdens, do we bring all these things to God in prayer- Is He not a God who answers prayer- Does He not intervene when circumstances such as described by the hymnwriter Phillip Doddridge come upon us - -In scenes exalted or depressed, Thou art our joy, and Thou our rest- Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise...- Have you a burden, have you a care, are you anxious, then take these things to God. Pray with faith and expectation that God will hear your urgent prayer, and that He may grant you or your church, a future and a hope.
