The European Space Agency invested millions in the Philae space probe, which traveled 284 million miles and landed on a comet. Now they can’t make contact with it. The probe needs enough light to recharge its batteries, and there is fear that the dust thrown up by its landing might have covered its solar panels.

You and I, on the other hand, can make instant contact day or night with the very Creator of the cosmos. Jesus told us to go into our quiet room and talk to our heavenly Father who is unseen. He will hear every word and reward us openly. Our prayers instantaneously fly to the throne of grace where we can “obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
In Bible times, they didn’t necessarily bow their heads and close their eyes. They often looked upward and prayed to their Father in heaven. John 11:41 says, “Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.’”
We have a clear pathway to God through prayer. Make contact with Him right now and look up.
Although we may not know what is around the corner, we can trust the One who called us.
