“God Hears the Prayer of the Humble Heart”
by Dona Hake
Psalm 51:17 ERV
“The sacrifice that God wants is a humble spirit.
God, you will not turn away someone who comes with a humble heart
and is willing to obey you.”
The humble heart my friends…this is what our Lord is looking for. We serve a mighty and living God that hears and listens intently to the cries of the man or woman with a humble heart. God desires to move mountains on behalf of those that truly reverence His Name, and seek diligently to keep a humble heart before Him and man. You may wonder who are those that truly reverence His Name. It is the man or woman that consistently looks to Him every day to be the Lord of all things in their life. It is the man or woman that calls upon Him for help whether it be a big or small thing. God’s eyes look for those of a humble and dedicated heart, and He is attentive to their cry.
Psalm 145:18-19 TLB
“He is close to all who call on him sincerely. He fulfills the desires of those who reverence and trust him; he
hears their cries for help and rescues them.”
Father, we thank You this day that You desire to move in great ways in our lives. We thank You that as we ask for all good things that come from You that You are able to place godly desires within us, and You will be faithful to fulfill those desires. Help us to grow in our understanding of true humility for we know that this is so pleasing to Your heart. As we encounter needs in our lives, we ask in Your Name to meet our needs for Your Word says that You desire to perfect all that concerns us. Today we rejoice in Your provision over our lives In Jesus Name, amen.
