In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Hebrews 5:7, ESV We could hear the power of the falls in Firehole Canyon long before they came into sight even though the car windows were closed. When we got to a place where we could stop and look down into the canyon we were amazed at their size and power. The sound was so different from small waterfalls in quiet streams that barely make a sound as they move over the rocks.
Waterfalls are a picture of what it is like to pray. Sometimes our prayers are strong and filled with anguish and other times they are quiet and filled with gratitude. When we just read the prayers of Jesus they can sound sterile without emotion. But when Jesus prayed, his prayers were far from sterile and were full of emotion. Some of his prayers were like big waterfalls of anguish and grief and some were like quiet streams filled with compassion. Whether our prayers are like a loud crashing waterfall or a small quiet stream, God hears them all. Pray honest prayers to our listening God and then open your ears to hear his answer. Prayer Great Listener God, We humbly bow before you and offer our prayers knowing that you hear every prayer. Open our ears to the answers you have for each prayer we pray. Amen
