Father in Heaven,
Holy are you, Lord God Almighty, for you alone are worthy of all glory, honor and praise.
You have written it so clearly, yet it is something we find difficult to understand. You tell us that You hear the prayers of Your people, yet we spend a lot of time in our prayers asking You to hear our prayers. It seems, Lord, as if we've gotten ourselves into a circular argument out of which we find it almost impossible to extricate ourselves. Take us by the hand, Lord, and lead us out of this vicious cycle. Turn our unbelief into belief and trust that You are true to Your word and that You do hear the prayers of Your people despite our feelings or the lies of the enemy. Help us to see, Lord, that it isn't a matter of You not hearing our prayers, nor is it a matter of You not answering our prayers, but it is a matter of us not listening if it's something we don't want to hear. Help us, Lord, to be honest with ourselves, and with Your, and to place ourselves in Your hands, with no reservations and no expectations.
Hear our prayers, Lord, in the precious name of your Son, our Lord and Savior,
Amen
