Psalm 66: 16-20
Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what He did for me. For I cried out to Him for help, praising Him as I spoke. If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God Who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw His unfailing love from me.
This says it all! Amen!
I cannot count all the times my Father has come to my aid. Even for the small, insignificant things, He has heard me and answered me.
If I am in the wrong, I must confess my sin, accept His forgiveness, and let God wash me clean in the Blood shed at Calvary. When He saved me, He cleansed me thoroughly, every sin past, present, and future. But I must confess when I become aware of my culpability. This humbles me, and only the humble are granted Grace.
Then I can pray and God will hear my prayer. And if I know He hears me, then I know that He has already given the answer; I just need to wait for it, looking for it.
Now, after waiting for 16 years, some things seem to be falling into place. My Father knows the dream He has put into my wanting, but He has been preparing me for it, through all these years. Knowing it was from Him, I never completely let go of that dream, and now it looks like it may soon come true.
May my other prayers also be answered concerning my family members I am concerned for. May He take me out of His way in working in their lives.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
