I Hear Every Prayer
Updated: Sep 19
My Daughter, Take My Hand, I Hear Every Prayer
Ephesians 6:11,14,18 Put on the whole armor of God…. Stand therefore… praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
Jesus said in John 14:13,14 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Ephesians 5:20 . . .giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, . . .
Philippians 4:6,7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
James 5:14-16 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
1John 5:14,15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
1Corinthians 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
1Timothy 2:1,2 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
Thank You Heavenly Father
Your love, the love of Jesus Christ and the power of Your Holy Spirit will always respond to my prayer.
I believe there is a divine connection between our prayers, our faith, and time.
Your prayers are simply your words spoken to God. They can be words telling Him of your joy in good times or your need for His comfort in hard times. Whatever the circumstances, your faith speaks to your heart and mind and tells you that, no matter what, you can trust that God heard your prayers. And then no matter what you see, you can know He has answered you.
As you pray, always know that God is present with you. Through His Holy Spirit, He will lead you to a place to know His truth. As you reflect on His words, He will move you into times of praise and thanksgiving. The praise that acknowledges who He is. The thanksgiving that comes from knowing that He has already met that need on the cross.
To combat any doubt that may try to speak to your heart, you must trust that the time between when you pray and when the answer comes is in God’s hands. That is how you help your heart to be transformed from fear to trust.
I believe, there are two types of prayers that are very effective weapons against the enemy who is speaking doubt. They are prayers of forgiveness and prayers of confession with repentance. The answers to both those prayers come from what Jesus did on the cross.
You may believe that your prayers always have to be about something that is really serious. That is absolutely not true. I had an experience at a family lunch that showed me how important any prayer is to God. As one of our grandsons was praying, thanking God for the food, I felt Jesus was walking behind him and stopped to hear his prayer. I was so encouraged knowing that Jesus loved him so much, He took the time to listen to a ten year old little boy’s prayers of thanksgiving.
My Daughter, walk in the confidence of 1John 5:14,15 that assures you of how much Jesus values your prayers:
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
