God is listening.
I don't know what it is, but you have a prayer. Something that concerns, hurts, haunts, or even consumes you. A request. A petition. A cry for help. A deep need. A burning desire. Maybe health, or perhaps money. It might be a relationship, or a situation. Perhaps a child, or even a parent. It might be about you or someone else, but we all have a prayer.
God is listening.
Tell Him.
Others may know your prayer, or maybe it's a burden you bear alone. You may have already lifted it up to God, or perhaps you don't know how. You might think God doesn't care, or won't hear you. Maybe you think your prayer isn't worthy of God's attention.
It is.
God is listening.
Tell Him.
God hears us. He hears us when we speak out loud, and every thought we think. He knows when we are talking to ourselves, and when we pray to Him. There is a difference, and God knows. He knows the desires of our hearts, and when those desires are lifted to Him, He hears. He listens. He answers.
Tell Him.
He will answer.
Maybe you think it is weakness to ask for help. I ask you this: Who is weaker? One who asks for help, or one who fails alone? God does not despise weakness. God loves us in our weaknesses, for it is then that He is shown to be strong.
Tell Him.
He cares.
He is gracious. When you cry for help, He will hear you. He will answer. Whatever it is, whether joy or sorrow, pain or rejoicing, want or need, big or small . . .
Tell Him.
He is listening.
I know he hears us. Thank you Bill for writing this thought.
ReplyDeleteEvery thought, every plea, every whispered wish, He hears us.
