[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 06]] ## Title: The Lord Hears Your Prayers ## Scripture: (Psalm 6:9) “The Lord has heard my appeal for mercy; the Lord has accepted my prayer.” (NET) ## Observation: This psalm comes from a place of pain and grief. The psalmist needs God’s restoration and longs for the Lord to be close. There is a beautiful moment at the end of the song that reminds us of the most beautiful truth about God. He is listening. He is working. Have you ever been in a conversation and the other person pulls out their phone while you are in mid-sentence? I have. It is awkward and embarrassing. The person most likely did not do it to be disrespectful. However, they became distracted and you were unable to hold their attention. Whether this is more of an indictment on you or them doesn’t matter. The bottom line is you realize you no longer have their full attention and the conversation slows to a stop. Have you ever wondered if God is “looking at His phone?” Do you have God’s full attention? Is the Lord moving? Does He care? The end of today’s song reminds us that God does hear us and He is moving in more ways than we can see. We do not have to worry or be afraid. God is not distracted. He hears our prayers. Help is on the way. ## Application: Pray today like you have God’s undivided attention, because you do. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always hearing us when we call.
