HE HEARS OUR PRAYERS

Psalms 91:15

When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.

Psalm 66:19
But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

There are times we feel God is slow or that He has just ignored our prayers. We hear ourself say things like, I have been waiting on the Lord for this and for that. It seems to us that the Lord desires that we should pray, pray and pray before we get that which we desire.

We may not be able to explain why some things delay, or do not actually come to pass, the moment we declare them. One thing is sure though:

1Peter 2:2b
but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

Psalm 34:7
The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.

One thing most of us don't want to hear is that "God says NO, I don't want this for you". For we always want to have our way. For when we want something because someonelse has it, to show off, to oppress another or just to fulfil lust, we shouldn't expect Him to give it to us.

However let us not forget that our Heavenly Father does answer our prayers!

Can we recall those times we called out silently to God in a moment of pain or distress and suddenly all became calm, the pain goes away, the sickness is gone or that trouble is no longer a threat?

We suddenly forget that it was the hand of the Lord that worked it out for us. His angels responded to our inner plea and worked out that miracle.

It could be so much a relieve that we try to explain it by a physical means. No, it was God's hands that worked it.

That

* accident that was averted
* shame that could have broken you
* sickness that would have led to death
* loved one that would have been a victim
* provision that came
* peace that filled your mind
* good news that suddenly came
* storm that finally became calm
* complex situation that just became resolved
* mistake that didn't blow things out of proportion. . .

The Lord hears us and He does not take lightly our cry to Him, He guards our spirit with so much love.

Proverbs 20:27
The Lord keeps watch over the spirit of man, searching all the deepest parts of the body.

He doesn't ignore us, He is always there when we need Him.

Luke 11:9-10
“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

1 Peter 5:7
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

May we never waver in faith and may nothing be strong enough to make us faint.

Keep praying, keep giving thanks. Stay in the Word.

The Lord has got you. All is well.

Do have a splendid weekend.

He calls us blessed.

Love
@ the watcher.
