Reflection
Jeremiah 29:12 gives us a beautiful picture of a God who listens when we call on Him. Prayer is not simply speaking words into the air; it is coming before a God who cares enough to hear us. We can bring Him our fears, hopes, questions, disappointments, and desires without worrying that we are bothering Him. Even when we do not know what to say, we can come honestly and trust that He hears the cry of our hearts.
