We Are Just Too Busy Right Now

One night, a thief attempted to break in one house in India. When the young woman living there called the police to tell them that a break-in was in progress, the operator responded in an unusual way: “You’ll have to call back in the morning. We’re just too busy right now.” That response was very disturbing! The young woman had done the right thing by calling the police, but for some reason her plea for help was disregarded. That kind of indifference is upsetting. But indifference never happens when we go to God in prayer.



God is never too busy to answer our prayer, No matter how small it may be. He's willing and able our burdens to bear; All our cares laid on Him sets us free. We may not always feel that God is listening, but He is. He cares, and He will respond. The Bible reminds us that we can take comfort in the fact that our God is deeply concerned with what concerns our hearts: “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth” (Psalm 145:18). When we call out to Him, we will never get a disinterested response. Rather than distancing Himself from us when we cry to Him, our heavenly Father draws close to us in our time of need. He is never too busy for His child’s prayers—He hears us when we call.
