“Hear O Lord, the sound of my voice, hear O Lord, and have mercy; my soul is longing for the glory of you, so hear O Lord, and answer me.”

Dear God, someone is within earshot of you this morning, someone is desperately calling out to you to hear their cry, and to have mercy. Lord, you will never treat us as we deserve, so hear O Lord, and please answer. That cry may be for a child who has gone astray, that cry may be for a job to sustain their family, that cry may be for forgiveness, that cry may be for comfort, or that cry may be coming from a broken home.; but whatever the situation may be, we truly understand, that your hand O Lord, is never too short to help, or your ears too heavy to hear our cries, so dear Lord, we know that no matter where we are that you are never far from us, but we farther from you, but give us repentant, humble hearts, hearts that are drawn closer to you, so that when we cry, that you will hear the sound of our voices and answer us favorably. All this we ask in your most precious name, and let all the peoples say, ‘Amen’!
