Day 19: Oh Lord, Hear My Cry

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him
— 1 John 5:14-15
Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into
God’s presence
— Ephesians 3:12
So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his
mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most
— Hebrews 4:16
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
— Philippians 4:6-7

As intercessors, we have spent the past 18 days in prayers and fasting. The good news is that we have not really directed the prayers on us. Today is the day for us. Spend as much time as you want today lifting up every personal burden in your heart unto the Lord. 

When we come to God, we come in confidence to the God who answers prayer according to Psalm 65:2 “ You who answer prayer, to you all people will come.” We come only by the blood of Jesus Christ and our faith in him (Ephesians 3:12), knowing He is who he says he is. We have no doubt in our hearts. As we come today, it does not matter what kind of burden we carry. Just call upon his name today according to Psalm 18:6 “ In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God, I cried for help. From his temple, he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.” And he will hear you. The Lord cares for everything that has kept us anxious. 1 Peter 5:7 “ Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” As you come to God today asking him to intervene in the issues you are presenting to him, remember that you are asking because he said you should, according to Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Also, remember that in your asking, you must put on the garment of “FAITH and BELIEVE when you ask anything from God. Mark 11:24 “ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” 

 Finally, know that God’s eyes are always upon you, and his ears are waiting to hear your prayers.  1 Peter 3:12 “ For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

 Some promises of God to ponder upon as you pray today

Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”

1 John 5:15 “And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.”

1 Peter 3:12 “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

Psalm 66:17-20 “ I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!”

Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
Mark 11:24 “ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

 1 Corinthians 1:20 “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

 Deuteronomy 33:8   “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

 Mathew 11:28-29 “28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

 Joshua 21: 44-45 “44 And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as He had sworn to their fathers. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45 Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.”
