The Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Faith Journey (9)" Bible Reading: Psalm 77: 1-4, 10-14 for Thursday, 15 September 2016
Psalm 77:1 (0) For the leader. For Y’dutun. A psalm of Asaf:
2 (1) I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God; and he hears me.
3 (2) On the day of my distress I am seeking Adonai;
my hands are lifted up;
my tears flow all night without ceasing;
my heart refuses comfort.
4 (3) When remembering God, I moan;
when I ponder, my spirit fails. (Selah)
10 (9) Has God forgotten to be compassionate?
Has he in anger withheld his mercy?” (Selah)
11 (10) Then I add, “That’s my weakness —
[supposing] the Most High’s right hand could change.”
12 (11) So I will remind myself of Yah’s doings;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
13 (12) I will meditate on your work
and think about what you have done.
14 (13) God, your way is in holiness.
What god is as great as God?

My son was living in Phoenix, AZ. One day he rode his bike to work. A truck made a u-turn and hit him. My son flew through the air and landed 25 feet away. His elbow was shattered, and he was rushed to surgery.
Again my husband and I drove to be with him. It was hard to watch him suffer. His arm looked terrible. That night I cried and prayed to God. I told God that I knew it must have been hard for Him to watch Jesus suffer on the cross. I asked God to be merciful and take care of my son.
The next morning my son told me, "A strange thing happened last night. All of a sudden the pain got better." I told my son that I had been praying and that this was an answer to my prayer.
This experience made me think about our verses for today. Verse 1 says, "I cry out to God for help. I cry out to you, God: listen to me!" As I prayed to God and received His answer and comfort, my faith grew.[DF]
"God is our protection and source 
of strength. He is always ready 
to help us in times of trouble."[Psalm 46:1]
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for answering my prayers and for giving me comfort. In Jesus' name. Amen.
