God Hears

Today one thought is most prevalent as I write and pray. Thank You. Okay, so that is two words. Maybe thankfulness will cover it. There are so many challenges in life, but God knows that. He delivers us out of them all. We need to trust in His goodness, that He is our loving Father. And when we forget that, we can still ask Him to forgive us and deliver us, and He will do that, because He is our Dad. The psalmist wrote about this.

Psalms 106:44 Yet he took note of their distress
when he heard their cry;
45 for their sake he remembered his covenant
and out of his great love he relented.
46 He caused all who held them captive
to show them mercy.
47 Save us, Lord our God,
and gather us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.

At the beginning of this psalm the writer is praising God for His deliverance. He then tells the story of how the children of Israel would forget that God was good, and that was why they perished in the wilderness. He also says we are the same. It is sad that we struggle trusting that God will deliver us. However, He always does.

Today, I am very thankful for that.

Prayer
Father, we thank You and praise You as the Most High. Please forgive us when we have doubts. Help our unbelief. Deliver us from the evil that is around us, into Your light and rest. Please send us Your healing, deliverance, and provision today. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
