Hearing our Cries

Exodus 2:23-25

And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt^adied: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage,and they ^bcried, and their ^ccry came up unto God by reason of thebondage.

 And God ^aheard their groaning, and God remembered his^bcovenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

And God looked upon the children of Israel, ^aand God hadrespect unto them.

Even though the children of Israel have not been delivered out of bondage at this point in time, Heavenly Father is listening to their prayers. I can take comfort in knowing that He listens. And because Christ suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the Cross, He knows what it is like to be in any of our situations. This enables Him to comfort us in a way that is personal.
