A Scripture and a Prayer: “God’s Paying Attention”

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9)

Prayer:

Lord, I have heard, and at one time believed, that You were far away and above of us, and that You really didn’t have the time to look in on each person, and that we were on our own. But, since we have come to know You by faith in Jesus as our Savior and Lord, we have found that this is not true. And in this verse, we find comfort and strength, knowing that You are paying attention to all of us, and that Your desire is to show Your strength to and through all those whose hearts are like David’s, that is, a heart after Your own heart, and a heart that is totally committed to Your plan, purpose, will, and ways. Therefore, we humbly ask that You help us follow fully after You, and that we take up the cross and follow faithfully Your will and way. And this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
