Pray
Monday January 27, 2020
Some people who have no relationship with God will still pray when they are in trouble or when they really need help in a time of great distress. Does God hear their prayer? Yes, He does. Will He answer their prayer? Yes, He will. How God answers that prayer is up to God for He knows each person’s heart and knows what is best for each of us. God is much more generous than any human being and He alone knows the end from the beginning. However, when we have given our will and life over to the care of God, we are assured that His eyes always watch over us and His ears are open to all our prayers.
The Lord watches over everyone who obeys him, and he listens to their prayers. But he opposes everyone who does evil. Ask me, and I will tell you things that you don’t know and can’t find out. (1 Peter 3:12; Jeremiah 33:3 CEV)
We who have accepted Jesus as our Saviour are God’s beloved children. Like any good parent, God is aware of His children’s needs. The closer we get to our Heavenly Father the more He will speak with us. God’s desire is that we grow in wisdom by reading and obeying His word. He gives us His Holy Spirit to help us understand the principles of His Word. He also empowers us to love and care for others as He loves and cares for us.
But I tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you. Then you will be acting like your Father in heaven. He makes the sun rise on both good and bad people. And he sends rain for the ones who do right and for the ones who do wrong. (Matthew 5:44-45 CEV)
God cares about His creation and each of us are benefitting from His goodness in the world today. Can anyone imagine living in a place without God in it?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for being aware of all my needs and making help and guidance available to me every moment of every day. Forgive me for the times I’ve not bothered to consult with You or failed to surrender my will and my life when it was different from what I wanted in a particular circumstance. Help me to walk in Your good will today and obey You in all my affairs. Amen
