Psalm 64:1: Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer. It often helps devotion if we are able to use the voice and speak audibly; but even mental prayer has a voice with God which he will hear. We do not read that Moses had spoken with his lips at the Red Sea, and yet the Lord said to him, “Why criest thou unto me?” Prayers which are unheard on earth may be among the best heard in heaven. It is our duty to note how constantly David turns to prayer; it is his battleaxe and weapon of war; he uses it under every pressure. We shall act wisely if we make prayer to God our first and best trusted resource in every hour of need. 1
Living the Transformed Life
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Psalm 91:2
- Prayer is opening up your heart to Him before you open up your lips to Him.
- Prayer is not about the words you use; it is about the heart behind the words.
- Prayer is the weapon of choice before you ever enter into the battle.
When I thought I was all alone, You were there listening to my prayers.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for always being there to listen, and to instruct, and to encourage. Dear Jesus, please forgive me for not praying first.
