the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
our God is merciful.”

God Listens?

God Listens?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know that God has listened and attended to the voice of their prayer. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Listening skills are vital to good relationships. According to statistics gathered by communication researchers, best friends bond because of good listening habits. God listens to the pleas of his people.

Psalm 66:16-20 (ESV) declares, ‘Blessed be God.’

“Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
But truly God has listened;
he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me! ”

How are your listening skills? Do you take time to listen to what God is saying and what God is asking you to do? Do you believe, like the psalmist, that God listens well? Ponder answered prayers and give praise.

Give Ear?

Give Ear?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who ask you to give ear to their cry. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Today, some people are so preoccupied with themselves that their listening skills have deteriorated.

Studies indicate that even though people rank high when it comes to listening to their bosses at work, they often have poorer listening habits when it comes to interactions with family.

In Psalm 39:12-13, the psalmist, David, pleads with the Lord to listen:

“Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear to my cry;
hold not your peace at my tears!
For I am a sojourner with you,
a guest, like all my fathers.
Look away from me, that I may smile again,
before I depart and am no more!”

Avoid selective hearing and poor listening habits. Make every effort to become attentive. Go ahead. Ask the Lord to hear the cry of your heart.
