Isaiah 38:5
SEES OUR TEARS
“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;”
Isaiah 38:5
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. Are you crying? Are you sad? Are you grieved beyond the point of crying? God sees your tears. He hears your prayers.
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.

HEARER of PRAYERS
“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; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.‘”
Isaiah 38:5
“I have heard your prayer.” Was this a statement that God made only to one person in all of time of civilization? Hardly. God hears. May I repeat that? God HEARS your prayers. Perhaps you and I need to HEAR God say He 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 plea 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!
