Have you ever felt the weight of silence after pouring your heart out in prayer? That moment when your words seem to disappear into thin air, leaving you wondering if anyone's really listening? Today's reflection takes us straight to the heart of this universal struggle with a powerful verse from Psalm 66:19: "But God did listen. He paid attention to my prayer."

This deceptively simple statement carries profound comfort for anyone feeling unheard. Throughout our exploration, we discover that God's listening isn't passive or distracted—it's fully engaged and deeply personal. When the world feels noisy with unanswered questions and your prayers seem to echo back without response, this truth stands firm: the God of the universe is paying attention to your specific words, feelings, and needs.

We delve into how this knowledge transforms not just our prayer lives but our entire perspective on faith. There's something revolutionary about shifting our focus from outcomes and timelines to the certainty of being heard. Prayer becomes less about getting what we want and more about connecting with Someone who cares enough to listen completely. Whether you're facing seemingly insurmountable challenges or simply navigating daily uncertainties, today's message offers a quiet reassurance that can carry you through the loudest silences. Your voice matters to God—He's listening, He always has been, and that truth alone might be exactly what you need to hold onto today. Join us as we learn to talk to God like a friend who never misses a word, finding peace not just in what He does, but in His constant, loving attention.

00:00:01.421 --> 00:00:06.253
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:06.253 --> 00:00:07.602
I'm Rick.

00:00:07.602 --> 00:00:12.512
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:12.512 --> 00:00:18.324
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, Ready to feel inspired.

00:00:18.324 --> 00:00:19.929
Let's get started.

00:00:19.929 --> 00:00:21.762
And now.

00:00:21.762 --> 00:00:23.408
Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:26.521 --> 00:00:28.143
Today is Day 214.

00:00:28.143 --> 00:00:29.745
He's still listening.

00:00:29.745 --> 00:00:34.375
We'll be in Psalm 66, verse 19, from the New Living Translation.

00:00:34.375 --> 00:00:36.905
But God did listen.

00:00:36.905 --> 00:00:38.831
He paid attention to my prayer.

00:00:38.831 --> 00:00:44.009
Hey, it's Saturday and welcome to Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:44.009 --> 00:00:47.037
Hey, it's Saturday and welcome to Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:47.037 --> 00:00:50.869
I don't know how your week has been, but maybe, just maybe, you've found yourself wondering if God's really listening.

00:00:50.869 --> 00:00:56.453
You've prayed, you've waited, you've hoped, but the silence, it can get pretty loud.

00:00:56.453 --> 00:01:00.104
In Psalm 66, verse 19,.

00:01:00.104 --> 00:01:02.972
It's short and simple but powerful.

00:01:02.972 --> 00:01:05.206
But God did listen.

00:01:05.206 --> 00:01:12.251
It's the kind of verse that hits you right in the middle of doubt, because sometimes it feels like your prayers bounce off the ceiling.

00:01:12.251 --> 00:01:13.522
But they really don't.

00:01:13.522 --> 00:01:18.290
They're heard, and fully, lovingly and patiently.

00:01:18.290 --> 00:01:23.768
God isn't too busy, he's not distracted and he's not tuning you out.

00:01:23.768 --> 00:01:25.212
He's paying attention.

00:01:25.212 --> 00:01:49.789
Even when the answer hasn't come, even when the feelings aren't there, even when the prayer sounds like just a whisper or a repeat of yesterday's cry, he still listens and maybe that's all you need to hold on to today, not the outcome, not the timeline, but the truth that your voice matters to the God of the universe, that he hears and he does care.

00:01:49.789 --> 00:01:53.781
So today, talk to him again like a friend.

00:01:53.781 --> 00:01:55.043
He's listening.

00:01:55.043 --> 00:01:56.826
He always has been.

00:01:56.826 --> 00:02:00.533
Now let's pray, god.

00:02:00.533 --> 00:02:04.144
Thank you for listening, even when I feel unheard by the world.

00:02:04.144 --> 00:02:08.439
Help me trust that you're paying attention, even when the answers don't come quickly.

00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.264
Let my faith rest in your nearness, not just in what you do.

00:02:13.264 --> 00:02:14.329
Amen.

00:02:14.329 --> 00:02:16.705
I'll see you tomorrow.

00:02:16.865 --> 00:02:17.769
On Weekends with Lauren.

00:02:17.769 --> 00:02:30.127
God isn't too busy, he's not distracted and he's not turning you out or tuning you out.

00:02:30.127 --> 00:02:34.007
He's not turning you out.

00:02:34.007 --> 00:02:48.371
Well, that's all for today, but remember I'm here every, every weekend, and you should be too.
