Seeking God’s Help

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 31–32
• Acts 23:16–35

We will stand in your presence . . . and will cry out to you in our distress.

2 Chronicles 20:9

For five years in the late 1800s, grasshoppers descended on Minnesota, destroying the crops. Farmers tried trapping the grasshoppers in tar and burning their fields to kill the eggs. Feeling desperate, and on the brink of starvation, many people sought a statewide day of prayer, yearning to seek God’s help together. The governor relented, setting aside April 26 to pray.

In the days after the collective prayer, the weather warmed and the eggs started to come to life. But then four days later a drop in temperature surprised and delighted many, for the freezing temperatures killed the larvae. Minnesotans once again would harvest their crops of corn, wheat, and oats.

Prayer was also behind the saving of God’s people during the reign of King Jehoshaphat. When the king learned that a vast army was coming against him, he called God’s people to pray and fast. The people reminded God how He’d saved them in times past. And Jehoshaphat said that if calamity came upon them, “whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine,” they would cry out to God knowing that He would hear and save them (2 Chronicles 20:9).

God rescued His people from the invading armies, and He hears us when we cry out to Him in distress. Whatever your concern—whether a relationship issue or something threatening from the natural world—lift it to God in prayer. Nothing is too hard for Him.

Reflect & Pray

How has God answered your prayers? What situations in your life or in the world could you commit to Him today?

Creator God, You made the world and all that’s in it. Please restore order and save Your people, whom You love.

Hi!

I was forward deployed and loved it. Homeported in Naples, Italy, and chased Russian subs.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it! Hump day is behind us. Hope your week has gone well, and your back is behaving less badly.

Hi Kathy, the girl is doing fine, still working from home. She's doing a lot of camping outings with friends.

We do have a bit of smoke from the fires but next month usually is the worst.

Howz things your way?

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I see it’s been raining at the airport today. Has any of it fallen at your house as well?
All three duck families still showing up for meals? :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

We are getting just a bit of rain...today added to a couple days ago is almost a whole half inch. We need lots more, but will take what we can get.

radu tracked down the source of our hazy skies...smoke from Siberian fires; not the first time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[radu]

Glad you’re getting some rain even if it isn’t a lot. Every little bit counts. We’ve been getting a few tenths each day and have gotten a little over 6 inches this month.
Now we get a dry spell and it’s going to be HOT. Highs in the 90s with the heat index a hundred-plus. Ugh!

It sounds like we’re all getting smoke these days. We’re getting it from out west and Canada. Very hazy here today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...thanks. We made it through another hump day.

We will never forget.
