God Hears You

July 17th, 2009 by Chris

There was a time in the prophet Daniel’s life when he prayed to God for an answer, but the answer was delayed - by an angelic battle! - for 3 weeks (Daniel 10:12-13).  And he was in mourning the whole time (Daniel 10:2). Then when the angel finally showed up with the answer, he explained the reason for the delay.

Daniel didn’t know why it took so long. Sometimes we don’t either.

So if you’re feeling discouraged, like God isn’t hearing your prayers, remember that things may not be what they seem. Press in. Hold tight. Draw near to God. He will draw near to you.

    Thanks for this Chris… for the reminder to keep pressing in. This is what God said to me today… Psalm 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!

    Praise Him for He knows my heart… and He does hear me.

    Oddly enough, that is how I ended the original draft of this post: “Take courage. Be strong. Wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27 is a great place to be when we are waiting. Thank *you*.

    Well… was that “Odd” or “way cool”? My vote goes to “Way cool”!

    I feel like I’m getting a crash course in “waiting on God” these last few days….Thanks for the reminder, Chris :) And, thanks for being an example of what this looks like…
