He hears
Sometimes you pray and pray for
certain things to change and maybe you aren’t quite getting the answer you’re
seeking because God is moving things in a different manner. I just posted
a blog on prayer Saturday morning but sometimes God gets my attention to start
another. Not only do we need to be reminded that when we have a problem,
we very much should pray we also need to remember He hears us. I’ve heard
it said that sometimes it feels like our prayers aren’t even going past the
ceiling. The good news is they do. Therein lies the Hope. Why
because Hope is a person named Jesus Christ who is alive, and active.
If you have been hurt at any time and
we all have Psalm 56:8 is the start of something, you need to remember.
King David said this of God.
“You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded
each one in your book.”
God has seen those tears you cried.
Every one! I need that reminder as much as you do.
Psalm 55:16-17
“But I will call on God, and the Lord
will rescue me. Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and
the Lord hears my voice.”
Next, I’m going to share with you
what started this whole blog. Get ready for 9 powerful verses.
Psalm 116:1-9
“I love the Lord because he hears my
voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will
pray as long as I have breath! Death wrapped its ropes around me; the
terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow. Then
I called on the name of the Lord: ‘Please, Lord, save me!’ How kind the
Lord is! How good He is! So merciful, this God of ours! The
Lord protects those of childlike faith. I was facing death and he saved
me. Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.
He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
And so, I walk in the Lord’s presence as I live here on earth!
“.
I don’t know what problem you’re
facing but that should give you hope!
I want to conclude with the words to
the Sandi Patty song In Heaven’s Eyes because we need to remember that God is
listening and is actively at work even when we can’t see it.
“When life goes by and no one
bothers
Heaven feels the pain
Looking down, God sees each
heartache
And looking up we’ll see compassion’s
fire
Ablaze in Heaven’s eyes
In Heaven’s eyes there are no
losers
In Heaven’s eyes no hopeless cause
Only people like you with feelings
like me
And we’re Amazed by the grace we can
find
In Heaven’s eyes.”
I’m counting on all of this and
trusting God.
