He Hears You When You Pray

January 19, 2026

"Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah." Psalm 21:2

Each of us have people in our lives we love, and we love them so much that we not only do we want the best for them, but we will also give them our very best. The same way we love those in our lives The Lord loves us so much and He wants to give us His very best. Most of us have encountered a time when you knew someone wanted something, but they just did not know how to ask for it, and once they did, we did what we could do to help them get it. We do the same thing to The Lord we come to Him and beat around the bush, and He knows exactly what we want, and He is just waiting for us to ask Him so He can give it to us. The Scripture reminds us that The Lord will give us our heart's desire, and will not withhold the request of our lips. I encourage you today to take everything to The Lord in prayer, ad ask The Lord for what you want. It does not make a difference what it is; all you have to do is take it to Him in prayer. Prayer changes things and it can change you as well, do not be afraid to ask The Lord for what you want. You may think The Lord does not want to or is not willing to grant your request, but The Lord loves you and He wants to give you the desires of your heart. When you are dedicated and committed to The Lord, there is not one request coming from you He will hold back. Pray when things are good, pray when things are not so good. Pray when you think you know how things will work out, and pray when you have no clue how things are going to work out, pray knowing The Lord will work them out for you. The Lord loves you and He wants to give you the desires of your heart, and will not withhold any request from your lips. I am thankful The Lord answers prayer and His love for me is everlasting. I know I can ask The Lord for the desires of my heart and He will give them to me in His time this, and this is why I can confidently say, “It’s My Year To Get My Thing From My God!”

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for being so good to me. Thank you for hearing me when I pray. Thank you for answering me when I pray and thank you for always being there for me through it all. I know that you will not withhold any great thing from me because you love me and I love you Lord, I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
