El Roi

El Roi is Hebrew for "You are the God who sees." (Genesis 16:13). I was reading in my devos today about how God sees everything. HE never leaves us or abandons us. I feel that prayer is very important and is a necessity for life. But I still struggle with life and at times I feel as if I am going to drown in my circumstances. I feel as if I am going to fall apart. But EL ROI sees it all. When we go to the Lord in prayer things change our attitudes become different, there is a peace that wasn't there before. A quote that really stood out to me as I pondered:

When turmoil seems to hold full sway
And be the ruler of the day,
I'll open up my heart and find
That God with peace can ease my mind. -Hess

Prayer tunes us in with God's heart. We become more open to hearing about what God has for us and seeing things through His eyes. So when life gets all jumbled up and twisted, remember to go to the Lord in prayer. HE really does care. HE sees all and wants to help you!
