I Peter 3 says,
“For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears attend to their prayer, But the
face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
What assurance we have, that He hears our
prayers, all because of Jesus, his son!
When we become a believer in Jesus Christ, and we
confess our sins and turn toward him…he turns toward us!
His eyes are toward us…and his ears attend to us…
In other words, God’s face shines upon us!
There is never any doubt that when we pray - God hears us.
This fact alone should bring peace and
comfort. We can go to God in prayer,
knowing full well that he hears and is looking at us in our need. We may not see the answer fulfilled in the
way we think it should be, but we can know that our prayers will not go
unheard.
There are times when our kids come and pull on
our sleeve, begging to be heard and noticed.
If we’re busy talking or working, we may brush them aside and even nod
our head, but never really hear what it is they’re saying. In fact, I’ve watched movies where kids are
trying to tell their parents the house is burning down and the parents don’t
hear them because they’re preoccupied with things other than their children.
God isn’t like those parents. The Bible says he knows our needs even before
we ask. Now, that’s an attentive Father!
Today…be keenly aware of his loving eyes and his
hearing ears…as you pray to God your Father.
