"So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob."
What a sweet couplet (above). God hears us groaning, and He remembers His covenant. Could it be that our heartfelt prayers stir God's compassion (as it were), as He refreshes in us the benefits of the covenant He has made with His church in Jesus' blood?
Go to the Lord today, even with your groaning--but don't forget to bring your faith, too. You could never *do* enough to move God to do anything for you--but your unfeigned (though imperfect) faith in the perfect Savior (Jesus) is more than pleasing to Him.
