Because you prayed

Psalm 116: 2 Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! Isaiah 37:21-22 The Isaiah son of Amoz sent this message to Hezekiah: " this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you prayed about King Sennacherib of Assyria, the Lord has spoken this word... God is very interested in  our prayers. He wants us to know we can depend on him. He wants us to depend on Him. And depend on Him, we must. In him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28. We exist because of God. When we pray He "bends down to listen" because he wants you to know he is dependable. When we pray he is moved with compassion to answer, because it builds our trust in who He is. When we pray, God speaks to our situation. He is the only one who can. Our prayers are never in vain. So P ray U ntil S omething H appens.

This is the way you should go

Isaiah 30:21 Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, "This is the way you should go," whether to the right hand or to the left. Have you ever asked the Lord for specific direction? I have. I've said the prayer once or twice, Lord it would be nice if you could just tell me  exactly what to do right now, and I'll do it. As I came across this verse I realized that God,  He does speak to us. The question is, are we listening? (C) Chantel Dillard, 2014 God speaks to us through his Word. Are you listening? When we listen we respond through change. Isaiah 30:22 Then you will destroy all your silver idols and your precious images. You will throw them out like filthy rags, saying to them, "Good riddance!" God is speaking. Will you hear him? - Chantel
