O Hearer of prayer, even to you people of all flesh will come.—Ps. 65:2.
Imperfect descendants of Adam cannot be totally free of anxiety. (Rom. 5:12) The Hittite wives of Esau “were a source of bitterness of spirit” to Esau’s godly parents, Isaac and Rebekah. (Gen. 26:34, 35) Illness must have caused anxiety for such Christians as Timothy and Trophimus. (1 Tim. 5:23; 2 Tim. 4:20) Paul had anxiety for fellow believers. (2 Cor. 11:28) But the “Hearer of prayer” is always there for those who love him. As we await Jehovah’s day, we have support and comfort from “the God of peace.” (Phil. 4:9) Jehovah is “merciful and gracious,” he is “good and ready to forgive,” and ‘he remembers that we are dust.’ (Ex. 34:6; Ps. 86:5; 103:13, 14) So let us ‘make our petitions known to him,’ for this will result in our having “the peace of God”—tranquillity that surpasses human comprehension.—Phil. 4:6, 7. w07 7/15 3:16, 17 |
