“Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous” (Psalm 143:1 NLT).
So many prayer requests.
So many needs.
So many friends, family and unsaved strangers needing a touch from God.
And here I sit, incapable, inadequate, incompetent, illiterate as to the language of a Savior. Unable, undisciplined, unworthy.
And the burden to pray remains. The desire to help stays in my heart. The need to speak to my Father keeps me up at night.
And then I read…
“Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous” (Psalm 143:1 NLT).
That’s it! The secret. The key required to unlock the power of prayer.
“…because You are…”
Not because I can pray.
Not because I deserve answers.
Not because at the end, I’ll receive the glory.
Because You are…
Capable.
Willing.
Merciful.
Gracious.
Loving.
Omnipotent.
Wise.
