The Lord Hears Our Entreaties

Readings:
Psalm 6
II Corinthians 11:1-15

Focus:
Psalm 6:9: "The Lord has heard my entreaty; the Lord will accept my prayer."

When we pray, sometimes it seems as if God is not listening. And sometimes it seems like he does not answer. God can seem quite remote at times.

Yet God promises that when we turn to him, he will be there. God loves us more than we love him, and longs for us more than we long for him. He does listen to us when we pray, and he does answer our prayers.

He may not answer us in the ways we expect, but he will answer us in the ways that are for our good. He will give us what we need, and he will also give us, ultimately, what we truly want. The Lord hears our entreaties.
