I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. — Psalm 116:1

Understanding how much the Lord loves, is with us, and is close to us should make us want to serve him and grow closer to him. We love God for many reasons, but we want to tell him today that we love him most because he cares about us personally. In a world where people who are “above” them don’t want to spend time with those “below” them, we are truly blessed to have a God who listens to all of our cries, knows each of our voices, and tunes his ear to hear each of our whispers. Yes! As long as I live, I will pray to him, praise him, thank him, confess to him, and talk with him.

Prayer

Father, you know every single hair on my head and every thought that goes through my mind. I’m glad you heard my prayers. Thank you for giving me the answers I was looking for to so many of them. Give me patience when I can’t see your hand in other answers that don’t come as quickly or don’t do what I want them to do. Even when I can’t see it, I believe and trust that you are there and working for my good. I think you always do what’s best for your glory and for me. But please, dear Father, make my faith stronger so that I will never lose trust in you. I’m asking for it in the name of Jesus. Amen.
