Psalms 5:1 (NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my meditation.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n My daily desire is that God will not just hear my words but the unspoken deep cries of my heart. Sometimes, we are at loss for words but God knows and understands. Even when words fail us, He moves beyond our words and penetrates the deepest recesses of our brooding heart to engage with us. God is not limited by our limitations because He is Lord of all. He is Lord of the tongue and Lord of the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So don\u2019t feel you must construct words for God to hear. He hears when you are silent on the outside; He hears and reads your heart. When you don\u2019t understand what is happening to you and what\u2019s happening all around you; and you don\u2019t know how to properly phrase your requests and supplications, He will not penalize you for that. Eloquence has never impressed God and in fact, long elaborate prayers put Him off. He sees what we don\u2019t see; He hears what we don\u2019t say. So I will not join the bandwagon of those who need to shout and speak long to impress God. I will speak what needs to be spoken outwardly, but leave the rest in my meditation; because even there, He sees and will respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Lord don\u2019t just hear my words; hear my meditations. Hear the deep cries of my heart. Hear those things that I am unable to put into words. When words fail me, my heart yet speaks and it\u2019s the deep calling unto your deep that I am asking. Many times, I don\u2019t feel like praying with words; I don\u2019t feel like talking; I don\u2019t feel like expressing myself outwardly. Modern prayer seems to be focused on the external speech. This seems to be the agreed mode of prayer as taught by the Contemporary Church. But Lord, many times, I don\u2019t feel like expressing outwardly but I know you read my heart. Please hearken unto the deep cries of my meditation and accept them as spoken words to you in prayer. This I ask in Jesus name.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Psalms 5:1 (NKJV) \u2018Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my meditation.\u2019 My daily desire is that God will not just hear my words but the unspoken deep cries of my heart.
