The LORD Is Gracious And
Compassionate
The LORD is gracious
and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.
The LORD is good to
all; he has compassion on all he has made. All your works praise you, LORD; your
faithful people extol you. They tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of
your might, so that all people may know of your mighty acts and the glorious
splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your
dominion endures through all generations.
The LORD is
trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. The LORD upholds
all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and
you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the
desires of every living thing.
The LORD is righteous
in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The LORD is near to all who call
on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who
fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD watches over all who love
him, but all the wicked he will destroy.
My mouth will speak
in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and
ever.
Psalm
145:8-21
God cares about us.
He loves us. Understand when we pray to Him, He will always answer, in His
time, and in a way that allows us to give all the glory to Him. He will always
give us what we need. That means He does not always give us what we want. There
is a huge difference in getting what we need and what we want.
God is never
indifferent to our needs. He listens to us. Our God is deeply concerned with
what concerns our hearts.
Rather than
distancing Himself from us when we cry to Him, our heavenly Father draws close
to us in our time of need. He is never too busy for His child’s prayers. He
hears us when we call.
You’ll
never get a busy signal on the prayer line to heaven.
