Does God hear us when we cry out to Him? Always! Does he answer? As soon as we pray. Sometimes He answers before we even voice our thoughts. Just because we can’t see His mighty hand at work doesn’t mean He isn’t intervening on our behalf. His ultimate purpose is not necessarily to give us what we ask but what we need: strength for each day and boldness to handle life’s pressures.

Eagle’s Wings
I would love to soar like a hawk or an eagle, unfettered by the pull of this world. Yet I can’t soar if I’m clutching a load that is too heavy for me. Soaring can only happen when I leave that burdensome carcass at the foot of the cross. I have to be rid of in order to receive; new strength for the road ahead, the ability to rise above the world’s troubles, to run without growing weary, to walk with unflagging energy.
