“God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.”
Genesis 21:17 (NIV)
Effective fervent prayer?
Or a mother in such a desperate situation she has no words, of hope or comfort for her boy who
only has sobs left.
only has sobs left.
Terrible situation - no hope left - no way out - no help on the horizon.
God heard the boy, gave them water and gave them a future.
It is clear from Genesis that God heard Ishmael because of His covenant with Abraham.
How much more will God hear His children cry because of His covenant with Christ Jesus?
We should not go willingly into these places of despair.
But when we are there -
O child our Heavenly Father hears us cry.
