Call On God!

This is what the Lord says, He who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it--the Lord is His Name: Call to Me (the Lord God) and I will answer you and tell (and show) you great and unsearchable things you do not know (and understand). Jeremiah 33:2-3 (NIV).

The Prophet Jeremiah urged the people to call out to God (Father, Son - Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit).  God hears and answers our humble, genuine and wholehearted cries for His help. He will show us great and mighty things. In fact, God promised the Prophet Jeremiah that he only needed to call upon to God for help and God would answer him (see also Psalm 145:18; Isaiah 58:9; Matthew 7:7). 

God can be trusted and He is ready to answer our prayers. However, we must call out to God with all our heart and totally rely on Him for His assistance. God could take care of our needs without our prayers. However, our prayers to God acknowledge that He alone is God and our true Help. Without God’s help, our efforts will fail. 

When we pray, we must repent and humble ourselves before our loving God.  As Creator, God is our real Source of wisdom, power, and strength (James 1:5-8). Rely and depend on the living God. God’s grace is all we need to survive (2 Corinthians 12:9-10; Philippians 4:13).
