God Hears Your Prayers                                                        

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers. 1 Peter 3:12

There are so many questions about prayer and it can be easy to get discouraged when it comes to prayer life. Questions like, “Am I doing this right?” “Does it really make a difference?” And “Is God even listening?” flood our minds when it comes to prayer. The answer to these questions are yes, yes, and yes! As a child of God, you can rest assured that your loving Heavenly Father is attentive to your prayers, and He is actively listening for your call.

Have you ever considered that God is eager to hear your prayer? He not only hears your prayer but is eager to hear your prayer. Consider the phrase “His ears attend to their prayers”, our Father is attentive. Not distracted or neglectful. This is a picture of a father leaning down toward his little one, eager to hear every word the child has to say.

Mothers have a form of this special gift. They can hear their child’s cry, no matter how many people are in the room. Your Heavenly Father has His ear tuned to your cry. He is paying attention and listening carefully to His children.

Rest assured knowing this truth today. God has His ear attentive to your voice. His ear is tuned to your call. You never have to wonder if God hears your prayer. He is eager and willing to hear and answer your prayer. Today, I encourage you to take some time and talk to Him.

Prayer for today: Dear God, I know that You are listening when I call. Thank You for always being there for me. In my good days and when I am sad, I can always count on You to send peace. I never need to worry that You aren’t listening, I am reminded in Your word today that you are eager and waiting for communication with me. I love You Lord. Thank you for Your love, mercy and grace towards me. Amen.
