The Lord is far from the wicked,
But He hears the prayer of the righteous (Proverbs 15:29 NKJV)
PROVERBS 15 IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Thought For The Week: Sometimes in our daily lives, we face challenges and difficulties that can leave us feeling helpless and alone. It is easy to feel like no one is listening, like our prayers are just empty words spoken into nothingness. But as this scripture reminds us, God hears the prayers of the righteous.
Righteous does not mean perfect. All of us make mistakes and fall short of God’s standards. But when we come before Him with a sincere heart, He promises to hear us.
So today, let us hold fast to the promise that God hears the prayers of the righteous. Let’s approach His throne of grace with confidence and boldness. Knowing that He delights in hearing from His children. And let’s trust in His perfect timing and wisdom that He will answer us according to His will.
Prayer: Dear God, thank You for Your promise to hear the prayers of the righteous. Help us to trust in Your faithfulness and to come before You in sincerity and humility. Strengthen us in our faith, and help us to abide in Your will day by day. We pray that our prayers will be pleasing to You and that You will answer them according to Your good and perfect plan. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
