Night Prayer
And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
Inspiration
The ancient Israelites were suffering under the oppression of Egypt. But their cries did not go unheard, God saw their situation, heard their pleas, and took action. When we encounter suffering, He sees our needs and hears our cries, too. And we can trust that, even if it takes some time, He is working out a plan for our deliverance just as He did for Israel long ago.
Prayer
Lord, You are God in all times and all places. Please hear me when I cry out to You in the midst of my pain. Comfort me so that I may endure patiently as You put Your plan for my rescue into action. Help me to trust in Your provision and wait for Your timing. In Jesus’ name, amen.
