Dear friends,
“He regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer” (Ps. 102:17).
I looked up the word “destitute” in the dictionary and found this meaning: utterly lacking, devoid, lacking resources or means. In my own words, to be destitute is to have nothing.
Of course people might find themselves destitute of a variety of things. It is possible to find oneself utterly lacking money, time, patience, friends, hope, health, rest, righteousness, and so forth. When people are in those situations it can be deeply discouraging. It can also be lonely.
Can you relate to the destitute? Are you utterly lacking in some area? Here is good news for you. The Almighty God hears your prayers. He does not despise you, even when all others do. And He lacks nothing! The universe is at His disposal to help the destitute. So lift your head, open your mouth, and cry out to Him for help!
Your friend,
Stephen
