Psalm 27:7
Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice:
have mercy also upon me, and answer me!
Prayer is a very important part of our relationship with God - He loves to hear from His children -its a special time of the day that we all need desperately - since Jesus is our example and He got away by Himself many times -we too need to do the same thing -if God's Son had to do it - we should pattern our lives after Him -this includes our prayer life-
I admit life gets very busy - right now I am changing jobs in a way - I am at the same place but in a different department -and I am trying to lean some new things- this puts much pressure on me - all of us have such pressure in our lives- but we all must get away from everything and every body and pray - I know many times it seems God is not hearing our prayers at all - things don't seem to change around us -the prodigal does not always come home -the poor don't always get homes and the sick are not always healed -but none of this means God is not hearing our prayers- its just His will is what is most important - not what we want - and from all we see - our limited view affects what we think should come to past - but God knows best- the Psalmist knows the pain of not thinking your prayers are being heard- many times we get very demanding in our prayers -wanting an answer when God wants to see us trust Him more -His purpose is much different then ours -comfort seems to rule our lives in the 21st Century - we don't want to do anything that seems painful -we want pleasure - but the truth is being a Christ follower is not an easy thing to do at all -we must surrender our will to God's will - so if it seems God is not hearing your prayers- continue praying -and have the faith to know He is listening - its just His purpose is more important then our particular wants. Hear us Lord!
a side note: Not our will - but GOD'S will be done!
In CHRIST GOD hears us!
