Are you true to your faith in the Lord? If so, then be assured that God will hear you and answer you in His time and according to His will.
Psalm 4:3 says “But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.”
Be sure to have the Lord Jesus Christ in you and that His Spirit is dwelling in you, Romans 8:9 says “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”
2 Timothy 2:19 also says “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
As believers, we have the assurance that God listens to us we are truly faithful and truly belong to Him. We can be confident that God listens to our prayers and answers when we call on Him. Our cries are not in vain but are heard by Him, and He responds according to His will. All we need to do is to be faithful, patient, and trust in His timing.
During moments when it seems like our prayers are met with silence, remember that as believers, we have been sanctified by God’s grace, and He holds us dear. He listens and responds, though His answers may not always align with our expectations.
Instead of allowing our troubles to overshadow our perception of God, let us view our challenges through the lens of God’s omnipotence.
Psalm 66:18 warns, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me,” while James 4:3 cautions against selfish requests, stating, “Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” However, 1 John 5:14-15 assures us, “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”
Let us live godly lives and maintain a consistent practice of prayer, knowing that our relationship with God and our earnest supplications are valued and acknowledged by Him. Let us also remember the importance of faith and trust in God’s faithfulness to hear and answer prayers, even in times of trial or uncertainty.
Philippians 4:6 says “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
Look at your problems in the light of God’s power instead of looking at God in the shadow of your problems.
If you are still in doubt of your faith and still not sure if you belong to Him, humble yourself by accepting that you are a sinner who needs a Savior, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and confess your faith to Him by accepting Him as your Lord and personal Saviour. Read more here: ABC OF SALVATION
