I love the Lord because he hears my voice
and my prayer for mercy
Because He bends down to listen
I will pray as long as I have breath! Psalms 116:1-2
One reason I love the Lord is because He hears us when we call out to Him. But, of course, that is only one of many. He hears my voice whatever I pray, but especially hears my cry for mercy. When circumstances overwhelm me and life is just to much I cry out for mercy and the Lord hears me. And I can pray at all times and in all ways because God in heaven, God Almighty, God of Heavens Armies bends down and listens to ME. To little nothing me. Who is angry and belligerent sometimes. Who is disobedient a lot of the times. I'm finding out, who is more a love of pleasures than a lover of what is right. But he still bends down and listens to what I say when I pray. Why? Why would He do that? Why would He listen to me? Wretched sinner that I am?
But since He does listen I will purify my heart, I will diligently seek out sin my life, I will strive to honor Him in all I do. I will strive to do what is right and love pleasure less. I will intercede more and pray for me less. I will cry out for mercy quicker so I don't struggle in my own muck and mire but let God deliver me.
Lord,
Deliver me from myself
Amen
