God hears

I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath Psalm 116

I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!

Oh, God. You hear me. This overwhelms me. Humbles me. The One who made the the stars and the sky and the ocean so big … bends down to listen to me. So I will pray.

Heal me. Help me. Open my heart to love you more. Teach me to walk patiently the path you’ve chosen for me. In the moments when I feel undone by my circumstances, invade my life with peace. And confidence. Knowing you’re here with me. That you bend down and listen even when my prayers are just a whisper. There you are.

I am so grateful. My body weak but my heart full. Thank you for being the God that hears. And listens. Attention captured by your kids. I do love you.

So I will pray.
