Can You Hear My Prayer?

Oh, Lord,
My words are jumbled.
Prayer is a struggle.
Crying out to You—
My heart is troubled.

Oh, Lord,
Am I speaking alone?
Are my words lacking sense?
Burdened, weighed down—
My anxiety is immense.

Oh, Lord,
Can You hear me?
Guide me through.
Please grant me true wisdom,
Which comes from You.

• Do you ever feel uncertain and wonder whether God is listening to your prayers? Read Romans 8:26-30, Hebrews 4:14-16, and 1 Peter 5:7. In Christ, how can we know God hears and cares about our every prayer?

• Sometimes God answers our prayers with a yes, sometimes with a no, and sometimes with a wait. But we can always trust He is moving and working in a perfect way for His kingdom purposes (Romans 8:28). Can you remember a time when God answered in an unexpected way?

• Even when He feels far away, Jesus is always with us (Matthew 28:20). What are your current needs? Find a piece of paper, and write these down, and leave a blank space. Return to this page in the future and write down how your prayers were answered—yes, no, or wait.

I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray. Psalm 17:6 (NLT)
