Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
Psalm 28:2 (NKJV)
Thought for today: I sometimes get hyper-focused on tasks. One day I was working on fixing some things around our house. My oldest daughter was a toddler at the time. As I went whizzing by her to find some tools, she, being non-verbal at that time, put her arms up to be picked up. Being focused on the task at hand, I did not notice her attempts for some attention. This resulted in a meltdown which took some time for all of us (Mom, Dad and child) to recover from. Ironically, the same daughter now shows me silly YouTube videos about adults acting like toddlers and having meltdowns.
Do you ever feel that God does not hear your prayers, that they are going only as far as the ceiling? Do you want to scream at Him, throw a fit, get foot-stomping mad? Go ahead, He has broad shoulders and would rather that you tell Him how you feel than to hold it in. The Lord knows how you feel anyway, its just that it does you a lot of good to acknowledge those feelings.
God does hear your prayers, trust that. His answers come in His time and in His way. Telling God how you feel about His answers or apparent lack thereof likely won't change Him or His will. But you know what, it just might change you.
