"In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me."
Psalms 120:1
I think this is remarkable. Prayer might seem mundane to us at times, or obvious, but the fact that God is there and that he hears us when we call upon him is amazing. It's something that it is hard to understand or believe until we've had that experience, and it is a connection to the divine... to a being whose power and knowledge is beyond our current ability to understand, but who is also personal and willing to communicate with us on an individual basis. This verse isn't about answers to prayer at all, only listening, but the fact that we have a God who listens to us and who cares about us enough to do so... that matters, and can make a difference in all of our lives.
Today, let's have enough faith to go before God and tell him our joys and our struggles... and when we're up to it, let's also return the favor, and be willing to listen to his advice.
