In those days when you pray, I will listen. Jeremiah 29:12
God’s word came to Jeremiah during a very difficult time in life of the Israelites.
They were abused, they were oppressed, they were under constant threat of attack.
Someday God would deliver them completely. But until then, he gives them a promise that he gives to us as well.
When we pray, he will listen.
God doesn’t listen the way some of us do. His listening isn’t surface level. His listening isn’t subject to distractions or circumstances.
When he listens to us, we have his undivided attention. It’s as if he looks into our eyes and sees clear through to our hearts.
That doesn’t mean he’ll remove the troubles. That doesn’t mean he’ll remove those enemies and obstacles that keep us awake at night. But it does mean he listens to us.
And sometimes we just need to be heard.
