“Let my prayer come before you” [Psalm 88:2(RAV)]

<p><b>“Let my prayer come before you”.  </b> The Psalmist seems to express the fear of so many, namely that his prayers are intercepted and never reach the Lord Himself. As though there is a selection committee deciding which petitions are worthy of attention.

Can God, who describes the nations as a drop in a bucket and who attends to the affairs of the universe, be concerned with the things that we bring before Him?

Not just for his prayer to be heard but for sympathetic hearing was the Psalmist’s request.

Is that not just what we are promised in our Saviour Jesus who was touched with the feelings we have, who knows what life is like and who promises to keep us as well as save us? If our prayer is sincere, we may be certain it is heard by the One who is committed to help.</p>
