Portal of Prayer

“Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.” Psalm 28:2

It is true GOD hears our prayers whether they are from the mind or spoken aloud.  There are casual prayers in our minds as we go through our day, walking with the LORD.  There are prayers of thanksgiving and prayers of praise.  We pray aloud when we pray in a group in church and with our families. GOD hears the prayers of His Children.

We direct our prayers to the only source that has the ability to answer.  We don’t pray to dormant objects or people who do not have the ability.  We don’t pray to a capital building of a country or a shrine or a church.  We don’t pray to our leaders whether they lead our country or our church.  We pray to the living GOD of Glory!

There are times when our need is so overwhelming we fall on our faces, stretched out before the LORD.  There are times when we stand before GOD with our hands stretched out toward Heaven crying aloud for the help of our SAVIOR.  

In the Old Testament GOD’s children looked toward the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle of GOD where He made His abode between the angels, The Mercy Seat which represented CHRIST.  Today we look toward Heaven where JESUS sits to the right hand of The FATHER.

OT

I look toward the holy oracle 

Where GOD makes His abode.

Between the angels, He sits and hears

Where prayers answered are overflowed.

NT

I look up toward  Heaven,

With hands stretched far out.

The answers come from my SAVIOR,

Where I’m free from any doubt.

“For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:” Hebrews 9:24
