Isaiah 33:1-24
‘O Lord…Be our strength every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble’
(Isaiah 33:2). Help us, Lord, not only to pray to You ‘in the time of
trouble.’ Help us to pray to You ‘every morning.’ May we not keep You at
a distance, calling on You only when things are going badly. When we
keep You at a distance, our life tells its own sad story – ‘O what peace
we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear – all because we do not
carry everything to God in prayer.’ When we draw near to You, Lord,
You draw near to us, and everything becomes very different – ‘What a
Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a
privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!’ (James 4:8). Lord, let
Your ‘love’ come to us ‘new every morning’ – ‘fresh as the morning , as
sure as the sunrise’ (Lamentations 3:22-23).
