He Hears You

   No matter how difficult things may seem, it is all working for the good of those who love God. It states in Romans chapter eight, verse twenty-eight. So when we're burdened with troubles, the absolute best thing we can possibly do is talk to God. Just take a moment to talk with Him. Revel at how astonishing and breathtaking He is. Thank Him for all that He has done. Tell Him that you desperately need Him to carry you through this exhausting battle in which you are already victorious. Rejoice in the reassurance that you don't have to put up a fight. Never forget that when Jesus ascended up into Heaven (after first descending into the depths), all of satan's dominion was taken away. God is ruler over all principalities, even demons.

   When we pray to the Lord, He doesn't get annoyed with our constant need for Him. He delights when we bring to Him our troubles. He knows you can't carry them, so when you bring them to Him you are filled with an overwhelming peace. A peace that only the Lord can give. "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27)

   God desires to be your constant Companion, your very present help in times of need. It says in Psalm 46, verse one, "God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble." There is nothing for us to fear, because God is always by our side! How comforting is that to know!

   God is also our Friend, and He loves it when you talk with Him. He listens to every little thing you say. Whether it be about how excited you are for an upcoming event, or if you're hurting and lonely and need somebody on which to pour out your sadness. God is the answer to all of our problems. He really can help you. Try it for yourself! Take a moment to talk with Him, and replenish your soul in His abundant graciousness. God bless you all!
