Reference Passage: …  1John 5:14-15 [NLT] … </b>

14 And we are confident that He hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases Him. 15 And since we know He hears us when we make our requests, we also know that He will give us what we ask for.  

… The Apostle John teaches truth about our confidence, as Christians, to come to God, knowing that He hears and answers out prayers.  

                                                                                                          

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Glenn Packham … AT THIS LINK …  … tells of author, Russell Moore, noticing the silence in a Russian orphanage, looking to adopt a child; and being told that the children didn’t cry out because no one had been there to respond to their cries.        

Not so with God, … IS IT?!!  No!  As the linked song plaintively sings and the truth of God’s word attests above, God not only is ALWAYS there to hear our cries as His faithful adopted children; but He even bends down to hear our pleas for His mercy and grace.  

So, what’re we waiting for today, my friend.  Let’s pray !!!                                

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for always being there to hear my prayers.               

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to go to You, Lord, Who will always be there to hear our prayers.                      … Amen
