He Hears Me

There are times when I wonder if God is listening…does He really hear me?

But when I remember those piercing moments of peace, or those timely moments of clarity, or those unexpected and unexplained moments of calm, it’s then I’m convinced He’s with me and He hears me.

I tried to capture those thoughts in this:

“He Hears Me”

The pain is great, my heart cries out,
I’m on my knees, I scream and shout,
I wonder if He sees my tears,
I wonder if He really hears.

He’s promised to be with me now,
To hear my prayer, it is his vow,
Yet still I doubt, I yearn for signs,
To prove to me His light still shines.

I still my heart and raise my prayers,
A seed of faith that He still cares,
I sense Him near, I feel some peace,
And to the Lord I now release.

I hear Him say to hold His hand,
I then reach out, He helps me stand,
I feel His warmth come over me,
I’m able now to clearly see.

His promise true, He’s by my side,
If I just trust, in Him abide,
I walk by faith and not by sight,
Drawn to His brightly shining light.

He gives me strength, I tarry on,
Because of Him the battle’s won,
My pain subsides, the tears now fade,
In His embrace I’m unafraid.

So thankful that He does hear me,
When I cry out and make my plea,
He’s promised me to hear my prayer,
I need to trust He’s always there.

***

As faithful as He has been to me, I cringe at knowing that at times I still wonder if He hears me.

But I’m thankful for the reminders from when He has, as well as His promises that He does.

He is faithful…He does hear me!
