Anyone who has ever cared for a child knows a lullaby a gentle song can quiet and calm a childs active spirit. As the children of God, our minds can also be full of distractions and worries and a full agenda that competes with Gods best for us. In God Loves a Lullaby, Jonathan Herst, himself a young father, examines the Father heart of God. Just as a human parent responds to the cries and fears of his children, God hears our cries and anxieties. Jonathan Herst examines a full slate of our emotional issues desperation, regret, loneliness, anger, and many others, and contrasts our view of those feelings at the time, with Gods eternal point of view. In this simple devotional, the author invites us to consider how God hears our prayers. Gods view, Jonathan reasons, is different than ours. Our prayers may seem like emotional desperation, but they are music to the ears of our Father, God. Read on, and you too will find that God Loves a Lullaby. J. Kie Bowman Senior Pastor Hyde Park Baptist Church The Quarries Church Austin, Texas
