Your Tears have not gone Unnoticed

Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, 3. And said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 4. Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 5. Go, and say to Hezekiah Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. Isaiah 38:2-5
Thought for the Day: Your Tears Have Not Gone Unnotice
Reflection for the Day: Your Prayers Will Make a Difference

Hezekiah prayed to the Lord for healing and when he saw Isaiah, he anticipated a positive answer to his prayer. The news was not what he desired; Hezekiah was told that he was going to die. He refused to accept this news as final, but instead, turned his face to the wall and prayed. His petition and tears went before the Lord and they did not go unnoticed. God added fifteen years to his life.

In the midst of your greatest challenges, do not give up. Though you feel that not even God is listening, your tears have not gone unnoticed. The odds may appear to be against you, but God is listening, and at the proper time change will come. Your prayers will make a difference.
Regardless of what you're going through, it could be worst. God knows exactly what you can bare and He knows all that you can handle. He has equipped you with the needed resources to make it everyday; faith, love, praise, and prayer. If you apply each of those throughout your everyday journey, God will not let your challenges and your oppositions over take you. It doesn't matter how bad it seems to be or how bad it seems to be getting, God is able to deliver you and give you more than you had before.

God is listening and He will respond. Praying to Him is that form of communication that he loves to hear and not only does he listens and hears you, but he also answers back with positive results. God said in His word that he will never leave you nor forsake you and then David reminds us in Psalm, "that He has never seen a believer without protection" so when you're going through He's there and when you're doing well he's there.

I’m a walking testimony that it does get hard sometimes and sometimes harder than most. If the truth be told, just like you, I wanted to give up. Even when the challenges seemed to have gotten the best of me, God came and showed the strength in me. “The weaker I got, the stronger I became as I allowed Christ to take over." I want you to know that God is faithful and He's able to deliver you. It was for my benefit that I faced those challenges, that God was able to prove His love for me by keeping me. Let me encourage you today! God says that if you go to Him in prayer with faith and without doubting and make your request known to him in the name of Jesus, He will do what you have asked him to do; Jesus said, "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father." Just like Hezekiah did, humble yourself in prayer and remind God of your faithfulness to Him and remind Him of his word; tell God what you want and He will also give you what you need!

The time has come in the earth realm that if you don't have an intimate relationship with Jesus and a prayer life with God, you will never make it. Hezekiah was faithful to God, but still God sent Isaiah to tell Hezekiah that he was going to die, but because Hezekiah knew God and knew how to pray and not only how to pray, but pray with faith and with expectations, he didn't die, but God added 15 more years to his life. So, are you going to give up and allow your challenges to overtake you or are you going to turn to God in prayer and let Him know that in spite of what it looks like, you trust Him to deliver you? Not the judge or prosecutor nor the lawyer. He will use whom ever He chooses He even uses and ass in the Bible to accomplish His will.



Your prayer gets God's attention and your faith is what going to move Him!!!
