God hears your cry
Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live. Psalm 116:2
The story of Hannah is one that many of us can relate to. We’re in a difficult situation, yet despite our persistent prayers, it doesn’t get better. Yet we read this distress did not deter Hannah, instead, she called on the Lord so much so that the priest thought she was drunk! We see this also in Psalms 116. We read throughout the psalms that David suffered from fear, anxiety, depression, and worry but we also discover throughout the Psalms that David overcame these horrible emotions by calling on God.
Today’s verse reminds us that God loves you enough to bend down and listen to the words that you say to Him. Yes, God is listening for your voice when you pray. He is able to understand every word we utter, including those that are hard to completely come out when we are overwhelmed and unable to clearly utter them out of our mouth. God knows our thoughts before we think them, and every word before we utter them.
God hears your cries for His help and mercy. God has a good plan for your life and you have to trust Him that He will keep you on His chosen path for you. He will straighten those crooked paths in front of you as you lean into Him and listen for His words and nudges of direction.
