Psalms 80:1
O Shepherd of Israel who leads Israel
like a flock; O God enthroned above the Guardian Angels, bend down your
ear and listen as I plead. Display your power and radiant glory.

How often do you plead
with God about something? If you are like most people, the answer
is…”Pretty often!” Now here’s the bigger question…how often do you
trust Him to answer? I mean REALLY BELIEVE that God will hear your
prayer and act on it. Notice I didn’t say that He will hear and do
whatever you asked…because often what we ask for is not what is really
needed.
I don’t think I am all that different from a lot of people, and I know that there have been many times that I begged and pleaded with God to DO SOMETHING (translation: make this work out like I want it to, LORD!)…but I didn’t really expect any results.
The
time has come for us to stop offering hollow prayers. God may not
answer us immediately…or in the way that we expect or desire…but He will
answer. He does hear us, and if we earnestly call on Him to display
His power and radiant glory, He will do so!
I am learning to talk
to God about everything…to give Him my burdens and my desires…and to
WAIT on Him to answer. I know that He will…and that He will answer YOU,
also. Are you ready to pray expectantly - with faith and intention…or
will you just keep telling God your problems and hoping He fixes them?
