I couldn't decide between these two songs for this month's issue, so I decided to include them both!

Bible Verses:

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. Psalm 34:6

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. Psalm 34:15

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

Fear you not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10

Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15

Devotion:

There are times in our lives where it seems like we have been praying for something for so long that we just lose hope that God will ever answer, or if He even hears us. I have been going through that in my life lately. When it seems like God is quiet, and we don't think He is even listening, I can tell that you He is! It may feel like He is so far away, and that He doesn't even care, but He does. His timing to answer our prayers is not always ours. I know I have talked about prayer before, but I think we can all use a reminder once in awhile. Sometimes we say that God hasn't answered our prayers, when really He just answered them differently than how we would have liked Him to. We want Him to say "yes", but He says "no", or "wait." Don't be discouraged! God is listening! He hears your cries for help and He sees your tears. Nothing, nothing at all, is too hard for God. It says in Luke 18 verse 27, "And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." Have Faith! Don't give up! God is on your side and He hears you! His love for you is never ending, His mercy is unfailing, and He will hear His children's cries.


Peace To You,
