Oh how i love moments when the Lord gives me something and i am able to share.. I Thank God for the wisdom, For the word, The scripture, For loving me enough to create me and hear me when i cry out! Im even thankful for the fingers he has given me and the knowledge i have to work this computer here......
I had a bad night last night. Not too had, ive had worse, But it just wasnt one of my best nights. I sat out side crying around 2 in the morning, because of something that had upset me, and i just kept asking God for certain things.. And i started getting so frustrated!! I came inside, and just layed down and stopped myself from crying and eventually fell asleep.
I was up at 6 Am this morning.. Just laying there.. Allowing a million negative thoughts to run through my head.. I thought about this.. And that.. I was still angry, and frustrated.. And after a while i started praying.......... Praying for so many things.. And then the strangest thought hit Me. A thought which i rarely have........... "Is God Even Listening?"
So my flesh decided to challenge God.... I was fed up.. I hadnt felt like he was listening, Because he surely wasnt answering. I felt no peace, i felt no joy, I felt nothing but the anger i still felt from the night before, and i felt worried about everything. I tried every way in the world to go back to sleep.. But something kept me awake, and it wasnt just my thoughts.
Oh Lord.... God is so good.........................
I tossed back in fourth in my bed, reminding myself in order to hear from God, You have to be silent....... Sometimes God is trying to talk to you, But your talking so much to God or so distracted with other things and thoughts that... You cant even hear what he's saying.... But that didnt stop me from still questioning...... "Is God Even Listening?"
Have you ever felt that way? Have you ever thought is God was even listening? Is he even up there watching over us? Hearing us? And if God is there listening... Why isnt he answering... Even when we're sitting there begging him?
Well i tell you what...........................
As surely as the sun rises in the morning, And the moon shines at night, There is a God in Heaven who loves us and he is listening! He really is listening! I know he is!!!!!!! Sometimes he doesnt answer when we ask for something, Sometimes he doesnt give us what we want. And sometimes he's trying to talk back to us, But we cant hear him because we are so caught up in talking so much.. Or complaining.. Or begging...
And we cant feel him because we are allowing our thoughts and our emotions to take over our insides.. Our spirits...
"Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10)
.... And here is my proof, my reason for believing he is listening.
Tonight God answered a prayer...... That i've been wanting for a long long long time now.............. He did something for me tonight that i've wanted so much in my heart, yet never even asked him for this particular thing.
So i know... There is a God.. And he is listening.
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I AM SAYING?
Are you reading my words?
God did something for ME tonight that i DIDNT EVEN ASK FOR.
Yet my heart longed for.
There is a God......... And he IS listening. And he is answering us................
If not when WE ask, then on his own time.............. And that should be good enough for us! We are so unworthy!!!!!!! And he does more for us than we even realize!
Dont give up...... Dont stop asking, and pushing, and begging...
Because before you know it, The Lord will answer your prayer's, and give you more than what you even asked for!!! In the NAME OF JESUS!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
Or... Like in my case.. He'll give you something wonderful that you hadnt even mentioned to him yet!
The LORD KNOWS THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART!! Amen!!!!

That really helped me. I've been going through a rought time this whole year, pretty much, and sometimes I get so annoyed and wonder if He is listening. I feel like, I pray so hard and so much, so why doesn't He give me peace? I get so mad and frustrated and I feel bad that I feel that way. I know that He answers prayers in His time and that His timing is always right, even if I do not realize it. But anyway, thanks for this post. I needed it.
