“Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto
my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.” Psalm 17:1
There is a difference in
the prayers we pray! Some are spoken
without urgency and others are deep and gut wrenching! It is the last type of prayer David was
praying. This was the same type Jonah prayed when he found himself in a place
of great discomfort, “When my soul
fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into
thine holy temple.” Jonah 2:7. These two
along with many others throughout GOD’s word found relief through crying out to
the only One that has the ability to answer!
The first qualification
for answered prayer is a heart made righteous by trusting the only One that has
the ability to answer, JESUS CHRIST! Without Him prayers are just wind and
hopeless thought! The second is living a
life that honors the LORD! In both cases
it is crying out to GOD that makes the difference!
I prayed a prayer that
CHRIST did hear.
He heard my petition
when I came near.
The answer came with a quick
reply.
“I Forgive!” Now on
JESUS I do rely!
I had prayed so many
times before
But this time how my heart
did soar!
I never imagined it
could be like this!
I’m free at last and I
have such bliss!
Now when I bow and go to
my knees.
My prayers He hears it’s
Him I please!
Now longer do my words
drift and fly.
They go to CHRIST in Glory!
I do testify!
