Watching and Listening

I've been stirred recently from the words found in 1 Peter 3:12 that say "...the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,His ears are attentive to their prayer..."

Let's talk about prayer for a minute or two, and let's be honest. Sometimes we pray because we know it's the right thing to do as a Christian. Sometimes we pray because honestly, we've tried everything else on our own and we're out of options, and it's our last resort. Sometimes we pray because we're in a crisis and don't know what else to do.

But here's the deal: The Bible says He is watching and He is listening to our prayers! If that's true (and by the way it is!!), then we should be praying constantly! Not just in times of crisis or panic, but prayer should be a lifestyle for us because we are absolutely convinced that God, the one true and living God, is listening!!

It's almost hard to believe, but we have the ear of God! But I believe it! I believe the sound of my voice moves Him! I'm convinced!

So here's what we need to ask ourselves; What is He seeing and hearing from my life?

Pray. He's watching and listening!
