This mirrors an earlier story in 2 Samuel 21 where famine was halted after an act of intercession. God responds to heartfelt repentance, to true worship. Our God is not distant. He hears. He moves. His mercies are not stingy. They are vast, immediate, and rich for those who cry out to Him. This is the God we pray to. The God whose heart is tender toward the broken. The God whose ear is tuned to the humble. Prayer Points: Lord, remind me that You hear and respond when I cry out to You. Give me the faith to believe Your mercy is always near to the repentant. Help me worship You with a heart full of gratitude for Your nearness. 2 People To Pray For Jairo Bonilla and his family, our National Changemakers in Costa Rica The Creole-Capeverdean Lifeword broadcast for the people of Cape Verde
