Isaiah 38:5
When You Cry Out, He’ll Hear
Do you have children or have you ever babysat? Think for a moment to a time when a child cried for you. Maybe they were in their crib. Or perhaps you heard a thud, then the cry of a toddler who had fallen. What happened at the moment they cried out? Their voice “came into your ears.” I love the way that just as a child’s cry “comes into our ears,” the psalmist, David, worded that our cries “come into God’s ears.” Second Samuel 22:7 says, “In my distress, I called upon the Lord. Yes, I cried to my God and from His temple, He heard my voice, and my cry for help came into His ears.” Yes, just as we can hear a child’s cry even if we’re in another part of the house, so God hears our cry from His temple. Our cries to God go into His ears. Our Heavenly Father is a HEARING GOD, not a deaf God. What will you cry out to Him about today?
Hearing Father, thank You for listening to our cries. Help us also listen to You.

He Sees Your Tears & Just So You’ll Know…
One of the many things that amaze me in the Bible is that God SEES and addresses individuals. I suppose because God is enthroned in heaven, I sometimes forget that His eye is also on you and me. Not only is His eye on us, He sees us when we’re crying. He hears our prayers, as Isaiah 38:5 reminds us. “…‘Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David, “I have heard your prayer, I have SEEN YOUR TEARS;” Are you crying? Are you sad? Are you grieved beyond the point of crying? God SEES YOUR TEARS. He hears your prayers. Don’t stop. Don’t give up. God is on your side. He sees what is going on. Trust Him. Keep your eye on Him. Keep praying. Follow His prompts. Receive His tender words that He sees you. He’s got this.
Heavenly Father, You who are enthroned on high but are also tender and compassionate toward us. You SEE OUR TEARS. You hear our prayers. Thank You. Help us mindfully watch and listen so we follow Your promptings.

He Sees Your Tears & Just So You’ll Know…
I’m going to try, but, if I miss getting 365 Days of Praise – Beyond Ourselves to you over the next 7 days it’s because I leave my house Friday 4 a.m. to get to the airport to fly from San Antonio to New Hampshire. I’m rejoicing at the opportunity to take the P.R.A.Y. with Passion Across the Nation Conference to Monadnock Christian Ministries where women from 6 states will gather for the weekend. Thank you for your prayers for travel safety and an outpouring of God’s Spirit on the weekend! THEN, Sunday, I fly from New Hampshire to Washington D.C. to attend the Mothers of America Convention, Sunday – Wednesday. I’m honored beyond words to be included in the mothers gathering from across our nation. I’ll will be thinking of you and if Internet connections, flight connections, time connections allow, will get 365 Days of Praise to you! Thank you for your prayers. They mean the world to me.

Praise to Our HEARING GOD
“In my distress I called upon the Lord. Yes, I cried to my God and from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help came into His ears.”

Hearing Father, thank You for showing us that You hear us. You listen and answer. Help us be sensitive to Your voice in response to our cries.
Praise to God Who SEES Our Tears
“…‘Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David, “I have heard your prayer, I have SEEN YOUR TEARS;”
One of the many things that amazes me in the Bible is that God SEES and addresses individuals. I suppose because God is enthroned in heaven, I sometimes forget that His eye is also on you and me.

Lord God, You who are enthroned on high are also compassionate toward us. You SEE OUR TEARS. You hear our prayers. Thank You for Your compassion.
Praise to GOD, WHO HEARS
“Go and say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of your father David, ‘I have HEARD YOUR PRAYER, I have seen your tears;‘”
“I have heard your prayer.” Was this a statement that God made only to one person in all of time? Hardly. God hears. May I repeat that? God HEARS our prayers. Perhaps we need to HEAR that God HEARS us. Because KNOWING He HEARS us changes everything. It means we’re not doing life alone. It means we’re not doing illness alone. It means we’re not doing family alone. It means we’re not stranded in our circumstance with no one to hear our pleas for help, guidance, and deliverance. “God, do you hear me?” we may cry. “Thus says the LORD, ‘I have heard your prayer.'” God told Hezekiah that He would add 15 years to his life, but Hezekiah had to walk each day of those 15 years in faith. So, we too, in faith, take one day at a time – believing – God hears my prayers.
Lord God, You HEAR MY PRAYERS! I praise and trust You!
