'I have called upon thee; for thou wilt hear me, O God; incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech' (Psalm17:6).
When we pray to God, we expect an answer from him; but sometimes the answer we get is not what we were expecting or at times it might seem like there is no answer.
David prayed to God, trusted him and with expectation was confident that God would hear him. We too, when we pray, have to believe with all our hearts that God is listening and that he will hear us.
As believers, we should be confident that we are more than conquerors through Christ (Romans 8:37). Like David we can confidently call upon the Lord our God for His grace and mercy and strength in the time of adversity.
We are helpless without the Lord to fight our battles. We need Him and cannot do it alone. We do need the strength of our Saviour to help us through those difficulties.
If you call upon the Lord, be confident that he will here you, because He who is faithful has promised. He will incline His ear unto you, and listen to you.
God knows our needs and will supply them in His time, which is always the right time.
The Lord will be sure to answer, whether it be yes, no, or wait a while. Let us practice to be in constant dialogue with the Lord, through prayer, so it becomes a lifestyle to us; a way of life.
We are assured that whatever we ask according to God's will, and in the name of Christ, He will hear and answer.
It is for this reason we should be confident of being heard, when we call upon the name of the Lord.
Let us trust in the promises of the God, knowing He is a God who hears and answers prayer. Won't you trust Him today?
Have wonderful day

The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
