Psalm 66 God- Are You Listening?


Psalm 66:17-18
I cried out to the Lord with my mouth,
High praise was on my tongue-
If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
The Lord would not have listened.

Sometimes I wonder if God is listening?

I ask and ask and yet…………
I see no results.

God are You there?
Are You not listening?
Have You forgotten me?

I have come to believe……..Over time........
Through many requests to God-

Requests where He did not seem to listen to me………
Requests that He did not work out for me………
Requests where He did not follow my advice………..

Yes, I have come to believe………
That in some of those requests………
Not all of them…………
But in some of them-
Even some where I tagged on-
“In the Name of Jesus” to the end of the prayer…….

There was truly a cherishing of iniquity in my heart.

Iniquity-
Sin-
The valuing of my way above His way-
The valuing of my way above……..
Him.

In the end-
His ways are Good.

In the end-
He is…………..
Good.

In the end, I know……..
He Loves………… Even me.

Father-
I choose here and now to trust You with all my life.
I lift my desires to You-
I will continue to lift my desires to You-
I pray my greatest desire always be for………
Simply You.

Amen
