Jeramiah 17:14:
“Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my praise.”
“Not a sigh is breathed, not a pain felt, not a grief pierces the soul, but the throb vibrates to the Father’s heart…
God is bending from His throne to hear the cry of the oppressed. To every sincere prayer He answers, “Here am I.” He uplifts the distressed and downtrodden. In all our afflictions He is afflicted. In every temptation and every trial, the angel of His presence is near to deliver.” – Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages.
