Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from Mandy Lining singing … God Hears Our Prayers … poignantly singing of how God ALWAYS hears the prayers of those who seriously seek our Lord.

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Alyson Kieda … AT THIS LINK … writes about a famous Hollywood actor and martial artist (I’m assuming Chuck Conners) , who told about his mother, who prayed diligently for years for her son, … Chuck testifying … “When nearly losing my soul to Hollywood, she was back home praying for my success and salvation.” … “I thank [my mom] for helping God to make me all I can and should be.”
And that story gives human witness to the truths my readers hear in the linked song and the Scriptures above, giving witness from God’s own word that our Heavenly Father ALWAYS hears the prayers of His chosen faithful. So, what are we waiting on?!! … Let’s be in prayer for ourselves and those we know need to be lifted up before God’s throne of grace .. NOW! …
Our all-knowing, all-powerful, God will hear us.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to pray for those who need You today, Lord. … Amen .
