“I’m a mother,” a friend said to me, “I want my estranged sons to be reconciled. It has been a deep longing of my heart for years. Why, then, when my older son made a gesture to forgive his little brother did I realize that their reconciliation had not really been a spoken prayer, but a deep desire of my heart? But God answered it!” she added.
The answer is really a simple one, as this mother concluded. God not only SEES our hearts but he GIVES us the desires of our hearts.
It was God Himself who said, “It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24 NASB).
What’s on your heart today?
- Is it too hurtful even to speak it?
- Is it something that if spoken would challenge your faith to believe God for?
- Is it something that you want so badly, but you can’t see any way of it coming to pass?
Keep trusting the One who says that before you even call, he will answer you! If it is a desire you cannot utter, it is okay. God answers those prayers too. After all, He gave us Holy Spirit for that reason also: “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26 KJV).
PRAYER: Father, thank you for the gift of Your Spirit. There are groans deep within me! Groans of something that has been tearing me apart. I surrender it to you and trust you to bring it to a resolve in your own timing. You’re pretty amazing to care about the unutterable that is on my heart and then to hear me and answer me EVEN before I call. Yes, pretty amazing! Thank you so much for your attention to me! In Yeshua‘s Name! Amen!
