Do you know that God is able to hear you when you pray? I'm sure for some the the obvious answer is YES! For others, in all honesty you might not be sure, because it looks like what you asked for has not come to pass. I want to assure you that when you pra, God hears you. He hears the things you say out loud and he also hears the crying of your heart, those things you may not even know how to articulate.
As I continue on reading the story of Ruth over and over this month,the thought came to me "God is Able to hear my prayer. I believe it prayer that was carrying Naomi in such a time of dispair. It had to be prayer. The prayers she uttered before the "tradgey of loss" happned. Also, the tears she must have cried while going through the heartache of loosing her husband and sons. The prayer of how am I going to take my daugher in law and care for her, when I can't care for myself.
I can only imagine.
Prayer is our connection with God who is beyond our human comprehension. God the creator of the world hears every cry and interprets them. I can imagine Naomi who at some point only identifed with God through hurt. "Call me Mara, for the Almight has dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full and the Lord has brought me home again empty." WOW! What at bold statement. Confessing how you truly feel about the Lord. You can feel her pain, can't you?
But God has already mad this disclainer...
I love the part where it says "If you look for me 'wholeheartedly'. I love this because sometimes I am disconneected, yet my heart is seeking for something bigger than me. I am so grateful that there is no exact way to come to God, but with my wholeheart. A sincere heart. God, I need you. God I am hurting. God I am empty. Oh, my can you imagine what that does for God to hear his children cry out.
Today, I want to encourage you to cry out to God. It can be through praise and thanksgiving, just be honest and sincere. It can be through pain and sorrow just be sincere. It can be with your tears. Whatever, rest assure he hears you. He already has a plan for us. The hardest part is trusting God is for you and not against you.
After you come throught gaiig trust or faith in God for your situation, its the ability to keep moving inspite of how your feel. In the case of Naomi God Sent Ruth to bring light and life to a Woman who had given up.
GOD IS ABLE
Keep reading and see how Ruth's humiity, honor, and commitiment gave turned Naomi attitude toward God. You can literally see through the scriptures what God plan was the entire time.
Just like Naomi, God has a plan and a purpose. Remain faithful in prayer, your connection to God who is able to release God's power in your life, in DUE SEASON.
Until the, get your face time in and Pray! God is listening. GOD IS ABLE TO HEAR YOU WHEN YOU PRAY!
