"If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)"
1 Kings 8:37-39
I like this prayer. The idea that God answers our prayer, no matter what else is going on in the background is a powerful one. I also like the idea that God knows what is in our hearts, and that so do we. :)
Today, let's remember the plague of our own hearts, and let's make supplication to God that he will forgive us as we repent. Let's remember that we can rise above our faults and mistakes and weakness, with God's help. He is the cure for our plague. :) And as we remember, let's do something about it.
