God Hears Your Prayers
Backgrounder on Psalms 111-118:
Praise permeates nearly every
line of these eight psalms. God is
praiseworthy for His care (P111),
His commandments (P112),
His name (P113), His power (P114)
His uniqueness (P115),
His Deliverance (P116), His truth
(P117) and His mercy (P118).
What other response could there
be thankful to Praise the Lord.
Lord, You Hear Our Prayers:
I love the Lord, for He Heard my
voice; He Heard my cry for mercy.
Because He turned His ear to me,
I will call on Him as long as I live…
The Lord is gracious & righteous;
our God is full of Compassion…
I believe in You, so I prayed, I am
deeply troubled (Ps 116:1-2, 5, 10)
Lord, I take comfort in knowing
You Hear my prayers. Your Word
tells me You Listen and Hear when
I call. Help me to be patient to wait
for Your answers, to not lose heart
and to never fear that You have
never heard. Help me to trust
You enough to pray for all
that concerns me. Amen.
Lord, You Take Care of me for
You are Compassionate and
full of mercy. Thank You for not
treating me as I deserve. You are
good to your children, taking care
of their every need. I praise you
for being so gentle and loving.
In dark times enable me to fix
my mind on your proven track
record of kindness. Amen.
Lord, when I am troubled,
help me to run You the way little
children run to their fathers
when they don’t know what to do.
Increase my belief in your fatherly
heart and your tenderness
toward me. And Increase my faith
in the power of prayer. Amen.
