God Eagerly Listens for Your Prayer
For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and His ears attend to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
1 Peter 3:12
Performance Prayer
Of all the disciplines in the Christian life, many of us struggle with prayer. It’s so easy to get caught up in the “performance” of prayer and forget that God has already promised to hear us when we pray.
It’s easy to get discouraged when it comes to prayer. Questions like, “Am I doing this right?” “Does it really make a difference?” And “Is God even listening?” flood our minds when it comes to prayer.
As a child of God, you can rest assured that your loving Heavenly Father is listening when you pray. He is actively listening to your call.
Eager for Your Prayer
The phrase “His ears attend to their prayers” is the picture of a father leaning down toward his little one, eager to hear every word the child is saying. Have you ever considered that God is eager to hear your prayer? He not only hears your prayer but is eager to hear your prayer.
Mothers have a special gift of hearing their children’s cry. No matter how many people are in the room, she can still pick out her child’s cry. Guys neither possess nor understand this gift. When our children were young, my wife could hear our daughter’s cry in a room full of 2-year-olds. She could spot our son’s call in a crowded McDonald’s playground. Your Heavenly Father has His ear tuned to your cry.
God has His ear attentive to your voice. His ear is tuned to your call. You never have to wonder if God hears your prayer. He is eager and willing to hear and answer your prayer.
Let’s review that promise again.

How has God answered your prayer? (Share your thoughts in the comments below.)
My sons wife has polycystic ovary disease and was told by doctors she couldnt get pregnant, praise God who has the final say so, she is pregnant, they are expecting in September. God is a prayer answering God
If we ask anything in His name and according to His will it will be given . God answers prayer in His time and His will.
I was down to my last money for provision for me and my children as I have been out of job for two years. I felt discouraged and depressed but, I decided to kneel down and asked God for financial break through. That day I decided to ask my sister who works out of Liberia and that same day in the evening I received 150.00 USD from her.
This is my testimony of God’s faithfulness…???
I was without a place of my own and was renting a place all the years. Our merciful Lord answered our prayers and blessed us with a place we can call our home. Thank You Almighty Lord.Thank You. Thank You Thank You.
