Yes, of course GOD hears us. Why would HE create us and then just abandon us? He counts the hairs on our head and inscribes us in the Palm of His Hand. Therefore it makes sense that HE is very interested in us and our Lives. Thus HE is always waiting expectantly for us to go to HIM and to talk with HIM!

So why don’t we?

Let us begin now……!!!!!!

GLORY ALLELUIA!

And I like that last thought – letting go of your life to save it.

Mark 8:35
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
(KJV)

Amen – Thanks for sharing.

We’re right on the money about the illusory experience we engender with our minds, thus creating a false identity as to who we are and who God is to us.

I dare to extend your argument to encompass the REASON why we doubt or fear that God is not hearing us. The matter is one of control. With our thoughts come two things in particular: one is familiarity (what is already known), the other is influence. In our mental world, we are familar with these thoughts (good or bad), and we falsely believe that we control we think or do for that matter…over looking the addiction or despair in our lives.

When we deal with God, on true terms, there is no BS or faking it. We deal in hard, steadfast reality. This can be completely foreign, uncomfortable, scary, and even painful ! ! Oh my!

But, what we suffer now is only slight to what we enjoy and celebrate afterwards! There is purpose in our lives. We attempt to control, because we fear what we cannot control. And, when we come across a thing that proves uncontrollable that causes us to see God in a difficult light. For prayer to be effective, TRUST is required. An actual letting go of your control…it goes as far as letting go of your very life! (to save it)

So let go to let God in! Pray in Trust. Believe in faith. Live by Love!
