Clouded Prayers

September 24th, 2016 · No Comments

Lamentations 3:44 (New Living Translation)

You have hidden yourself in a cloud
so our prayers cannot reach you.

The writer is lamenting the sorrowful state of God’s people. This verse gives one of the more awful things that has happened.

The prayers of the people cannot reach God.

Imagine we all have a new revelation from God. For the time being, prayers are ignored. Would that mean anything to me? Would it bother me? Would I feel a loss?

I would. That is not a boast, but I don’t know what would be an adequate replacement for prayer. Thank you God for not hiding in a cloud.
