Psalm 17:6, 7 
“I call on you, God, 
because you will answer me; 
listen closely to me; hear what I say. 
Display the wonders of your faithful love, 
Savior of all who seek refuge 
from those who rebel against your right hand.” (CSB)

“I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. 
Bend down and listen as I pray. 
Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. 
By your mighty power you rescue 
those who seek refuge from their enemies.” (NLT)

God-confident people turn to God in prayer because they know he is listening. It is his nature and delight. He bends down, leans in, and focuses intently on the condition of our hearts expressed as best we can with the words we say. Even when it feels awkward to us, even when we cannot pray as well as aging pastors and practiced saints, God listens. 

God also responds. Having heard the true concern of our hearts which is deeper and purer than our clumsy words, he takes action. He does what is right, just, fair, and compassionate. He is timely and timeless in his answers. His engagement demonstrates his loving disposition. His reaction expresses his unfailing love in wonderful ways. 

God rescues. God saves. 

God hears our hearts, heals our hearts, and helps us on our way. 

What better way to begin and end the day?

What better way to turn to throughout the day?

What better way to transition into this day?

I will pray because God hears everything I say.

Our Father, thank you for bending down, for leaning in, for hearing my prayers, and for answering them better than I pray them. Your perfect love is on display as you listen when I pray. I will pray now. I will pray when I lie down tonight. I will pray all along the journey today. I will trust you to always do what is right for now and forever. Amen.

Daily D – John 6:47-51

John 6:47-51 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. Yes, I am the bread of life! Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.”

Daily D – Matthew 21:43-44

Matthew 21:43, 44 “I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit. Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on.”

Daily D – Matthew 21:12-15

Matthew 21:12-15 Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves!”

The blind and the lame came to him in the Temple, and he healed them. The leading priests and the teachers of religious law saw these wonderful miracles and heard even the children in the Temple shouting, “Praise God for the Son of David.”

But the leaders were indignant.

Daily D – Matthew 23:37

Matthew 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.”

Daily D – 1 Kings 22:4-5

1 Kings 22:4, 5 Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will you join me in battle to recover Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “Why, of course! You and I are as one. My troops are your troops, and my horses are your horses.” Then Jehoshaphat added, “But first let’s find out what the Lord says.”
