Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
- 0:03Speaker 1: It's time right now. Four. Today's word trust the God
- 0:07Speaker 1: who hears one. John five point fourteen says, this is
- 0:11Speaker 1: the confidence we have in approaching God, that if we
- 0:14Speaker 1: ask anything according to His will, he hears us. You know,
- 0:18Speaker 1: one of the greatest comforts we have as believers is
- 0:21Speaker 1: knowing that every prayer we pray is heard by God.
- 0:25Speaker 1: There has never been a sincere prayer that escaped his attention.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Every whispered cry, every silent tear, every desperate please, every
- 0:34Speaker 1: heartfelt praise has reached the ears of our heavenly Father. Yet,
- 0:38Speaker 1: if we're honest, there are times when we wonder why
- 0:42Speaker 1: the answer seems delayed. We've prayed for healing, but the
- 0:46Speaker 1: doctor's report hasn't changed. We've prayed for a loved one,
- 0:48Speaker 1: but they're still making poor choices. We prayed for the
- 0:52Speaker 1: new opportunity, but the door remains closed. In those moments,
- 0:56Speaker 1: discouragement tries to convince us that God isn't listening. But
- 1:00Speaker 1: scripture doesn't say God, here's only the prayers He answers immediately,
- 1:04Speaker 1: it says he hears us. That's an important distinction See,
- 1:09Speaker 1: God's silence is never absence, his delay is never denial,
- 1:14Speaker 1: and his timing is always wrapped in wisdom. As loving parents,
- 1:20Speaker 1: we don't always grant every request our children make. Our
- 1:24Speaker 1: heavenly Father doesn't answer every prayer exactly as we ask it,
- 1:29Speaker 1: not because he doesn't care, but because he sees what
- 1:32Speaker 1: we can't see.
- 1:33Speaker 2: He knows the end from the beginning.
- 1:35Speaker 1: He understands what will bless us and what will protect us,
- 1:38Speaker 1: and what will prepare us for the future.
- 1:41Speaker 2: He's already planned.
- 1:42Speaker 1: So sometimes God says yes, sometimes he says not yet,
- 1:46Speaker 1: and sometimes he lovingly says, I've got something better. Faith
- 1:50Speaker 1: isn't just believing that God can answer our prayers. Faith
- 1:53Speaker 1: is trusting him when he answers and it doesn't look
- 1:56Speaker 1: the way we expected.
- 1:58Speaker 2: See that's where peace is found.
- 2:00Speaker 1: When we release the pressure of trying to control every outcome,
- 2:03Speaker 1: you make room for.
- 2:04Speaker 2: God's perfect plan to unfolding your life.
- 2:07Speaker 1: If the door hasn't opened, trust the one who knows why.
- 2:11Speaker 1: If the azer hasn't come, believe that he's still working.
- 2:15Speaker 1: If the season hasn't changed, remember that his grace is
- 2:17Speaker 1: sufficient for today.
- 2:19Speaker 2: So don't allow.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Unanswered questions to steal your joy. You keep smiling, you
- 2:23Speaker 1: keep worshiping, you keep serving, You keep thinking God before
- 2:26Speaker 1: you see the breakthrough. Every day you choose faith over frustration.
- 2:31Speaker 2: You're growing stronger.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Spiritually and demonstrating that your trust is in God's character and.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Not just his timing.
- 2:38Speaker 1: The God who hears your prayer also is a God
- 2:41Speaker 1: who orders your steps. He's arranging divine apportments. He's protecting
- 2:46Speaker 1: you from things you cannot see. He's preparing blessings that
- 2:49Speaker 1: are bigger than your current understanding.
- 2:51Speaker 2: And one day you'll look back.
- 2:53Speaker 1: And realize that what felt like a delay was actually
- 2:56Speaker 1: one of God's greatest acts of love.
- 2:58Speaker 2: So don't lose heart.
- 2:59Speaker 1: You keep you keep believing, you keep trusting because a
- 3:02Speaker 1: God who hears every prayer is faithfully working all things
- 3:06Speaker 1: together for your good. Oh Father God, thank you. Thank
- 3:10Speaker 1: you that we never have to wonder whether you hear us.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Thank you that you invite us to come boldly into
- 3:17Speaker 1: your presence with every need, every burden, and every gene.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Help us to trust your heart even when we don't
- 3:22Speaker 1: understand your time, and teach us to rest and the
- 3:25Speaker 1: confidence that you're working behind the scenes for our good
- 3:28Speaker 1: even when we can't see it. Give us a grace
- 3:31Speaker 1: to wait with joy, to worship with expectation, and to
- 3:34Speaker 1: walk by faith instead of by sight. We believe that
- 3:37Speaker 1: every prayer we've placed in your hands is safely in
- 3:41Speaker 1: your care. We trust that your answer will come in
- 3:44Speaker 1: exactly the right time in Jesus' name.
- 3:46Speaker 2: That's your word for today.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Take it applied to your everyday life, and you continue
- 3:49Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired. It's your early morning praise party.
