[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 69]] ## Title: The God Who Answers Prayer ## Scripture: (Psalm 69:16) “Answer me, O Lord, for your loyal love is good. Because of your great compassion, turn toward me.” (NET) ## Observation: Have you ever had that friend that you love very much, but they never answer their phone? It doesn’t matter if it is a call, a text, or anything else. They are just not going to answer. You get to the place where you expect it will be a long time before they respond. I admit, I am one of those people. It is not that I don’t care or that I don’t want to answer. I simply do not see it at the time. If we are not careful, we may sometimes feel like God is like that. We think prayer is a voicemail and He will get back to us at some point. The reality is that God never places us on hold and He never has to get back with us. He is always present. He always hears us. He is always doing more than we can see. So talk to God today, not like you are leaving a message. Talk to Him like He is listening right now. ## Application: Make today’s prayer time a conversation like you are talking to your best friend. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always hearing our prayers.
