“Give ear to my words, O Lord; give heed to my sighing” ( Psalm 5:1 NRSV).
When someone listens, really listens to you, they “give ear” to you. They “give heed” to you.
Isn’t it remarkable that God will listen to us in that way?
Sometimes my prayers are made of words. Sometimes my prayers are made of sighs. Sometimes my prayers are made of a word here, a sigh there.
Isn’t it remarkable that God will listen, really listen to us whether our prayers are made of words, sighs, or both?
Thank you, loving Father, for giving ear. Thank you for giving heed. How many times have you listened to my words? How many times have you listened to my sighs? Thank you.
