When faced with overwhelming situations or the criticism of others, our first response should be to cry out to God in prayer. Moses, confronted by the anger and demands of the people, did not retaliate or give up, but brought his concerns directly to the Lord. God hears the prayers of His people and provides wisdom, direction, and provision in response to our honest cries. No matter how heavy your burden or how misunderstood you feel, God invites you to bring it all to Him, trusting that He will answer in His perfect way.

Psalm 34:17-18 (KJV)
The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Reflection: What burden or frustration are you carrying today that you have not yet brought to God in prayer? Take a moment now to honestly lay it before Him and ask for His help.
