My penultimate verses for my, "But God" series focus on the heartwarming and reassuring truth that God hears our prayers.
Do you feel unheard today and like your voice is going unnoticed? Call out to Jesus! His ears are always attentive to the calls of His children.
"Two words within the Bible that cut right through the strife.Two simple words with power that can change a person’s life.
These words can speak to every heart, whatever path is trod.
We know in every circumstance, apply the words, “But God…”
Many people feel unheard, unnoticed and discarded.
Their voice is never heeded and their efforts disregarded.
But God is ever-mindful and His heart is full of care.
He listens to His children, He’s attentive to each prayer."
Psalm 66:16-20
“Come and hear, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
but God has surely listened
and has heard my prayer.
Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!”
Isaiah 59:1
“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened,
That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy,
That it cannot hear.”
1 John 5:14
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”
Point Of Praise
I thank You Lord that while so many voices in this world are lost in the clamour and cacophony of noise, I know You hear me. Your ears are attentive to my words, cries and songs of praise. Let there be no sin in my heart that creates a block between me and You. May I harbour nothing that prevents an open and honest connection between us and help me be just as attentive to Your voice as You are to mine. I ask that You help me never to ask amiss in my prayer life but always according to Your will. I praise You, for You are the God who hears.
