Power for Today
God Hears Our Prayers
Psalms 34 (NIV)“The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry.” (Psalm 34:15, NIV)
Time and time again throughout the New Testament we are told to pray. We are to pray often and consistently. We are to approach our Father’s throne with boldness and believe that He hears us. But did you ever stop to think about that? How does He hear us? How, out of millions of people on His earth, does He hear my prayer when others are praying at the same time? How can God possibly hear my every prayer(and the Bible says He does!) when I am not the only one praying?
We may never know exactly how God hears everyone at the same time, but we can know this - God is all seeing, all knowing and His love and power are beyond our comprehension. I don’t know how He does it, I’m just thankful He does! We don’t have to stand in line or wait our turn. And even better, we’ll never get a busy signal or be put on hold!
Don’t put off talking to God today. He wants to hear from you more than you can ever imagine! He is lovingly and anxiously waiting to hear your voice. Pray - God is always listening!
Thank You, Father, for not only hearing our every prayer, but also for wanting to hear our voices and our petitions. We love You and praise Your name! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
