Psalm 66:19-20 (NLT): "But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, Who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw His unfailing love from me."

Having the confidence of knowing God hears and directs our steps is essential for the days we're living in. Proverbs 3:6 says when we acknowledge God in all our ways He will direct our paths. That means to regard Him and His ways as our first priority and final authority in our lives. One of the dictionary's definitions for the word regard is: to gaze steadily at someone, or something, in a specified fashion. We want to encourage you to deliberately take time to steadily gaze upon the faithful nature of our God and the truth of His Word. Let it root deeply in your heart and saturate your mind. This will automatically place you in a position where you can confidently pray to the Lord being fully persuaded of His love for you, expecting Him to hear and answer your prayers. Know today that He will not ignore you, nor withdraw His unfailing love from you!
