Devotionals
Every believer, at some point, wonders if I even listen to their prayers. At times, I see the doubt in your heart. You try so desperately to hold on to your faith. You feel as though you pray and pray, then conclude that it is probably all in vain. The desperation inside of you causes you to question if I even exist. Your knocking begins to sound like pounding, and you become convinced that what you're seeking after doesn't exist.
I may, at times, be silent, but that in no way means that I am not hearing your prayers. I always hear you, and I am drawing you nearer to Me.
Although you might be tempted, you don't need to throw a tantrum or yell at Me in order for me to hear you. Be rest assured, I hear you.
I want you to wait upon Me, attentively, expectantly, with an attitude of faith that I will answer. I may not answer in the way you thought I would, or in the timing that you thought I should have, but I will answer. I am usually not early, but I'm definitely never late.
Use this silence, this waiting time, to increase your faith in Me. Meditate on My Word and grow stronger in Me. Simply "get to know Me" better. As you wait upon My Mighty hand to move in your life, there is no better use of your time than just sitting with Me and finding out what it is like to enter into My rest and experience My peace. As we share that time together, you'll realize very clearly, that I am here to listen; and at the perfect time, you will hear My answer.
Isaiah 59:1 – "Listen! The Lord's arm is not too weak to save you, nor is His ear too deaf to hear you call." (NLT)

slowly might actually draw
me closer....to Him!
