I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2 (NKJV)
You know the kind of mess you’re in. You know how you feel about it too. But even if no one else knows or can understand, there is Someone who does. You can not hide from Him. He knows everything. He knows
how you got here and the reason
why. He knows all the answers. So why not
ask? Have you tried? He IS listening. He
does hear you cry out to Him. He hears your voice. And He does answer. Maybe not as we would have imagined or in our timing, but He
does answer. And here’s something you may not have thought of before...
He loves to have you need Him. Hear that?
He loves to have you need Him.
Maybe you’ve drifted away. Maybe the Lord is breaking you to bring you back. Maybe the Lord just needs you to “pick the phone up and call.” You need not worry about the long distance charge. He’s already paid that with His Son. For you it’s free. All you have to do is pick up the phone and dial. There will be no busy signal. He will not put you on hold to answer the other line. You do not have to leave a message. He is there, waiting with great anticipation for it to ring. He will be excited to hear you, and will love to have you need Him. Call upon Him today. Call upon Him tomorrow. Call upon Him as long as you live. He has been there before, and will be there again... today, tomorrow, and always.
Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Hello? I’m calling because I need You. I just flat out need You. My heart is longing to have You. My life, the way it is, cannot go on in this disarray. I need You to help me out of this. I need You to give me the answers. I pray that You would give me those answers in Your timing. I pray that You will use this time as a time of growth for me, and that I will learn the lessons You have for me. And even though it may not be easy, I know that You will be here with me through it all as you have always been in the past, and that all I have to do is call.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
