In our SuperVerse today, the writer of Psalm 116:2 said that he knew that God heard his prayer. He wrote from his own experience. In verses 6–9, he said:
6 The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and He saved me. 7 Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me. 8 He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. 9 And so I walk in the Lord’s presence as I live here on earth!
God loves childlike faith. We all will grow up. However, when it comes to trusting God, we should remain like a child and trust God completely, even when we don’t fully understand.
We are in God’s presence today, just like the Bible verses say. God hears every word, every cry, a whisper, and even a silent thought! What would you like to say to God?
You can thank Him for what He has already done because He has been good to you! You can ask Him for help with something you are facing. Do you need God’s forgiveness and grace for something you have done? Or maybe you just need to feel His love. Whatever you need, God is present and listening today! Allow children time to pray silently, then close in prayer.
Dear God, You hear our prayers! Because of this, we will pray as long as we have breath. Thank You for Your unconditional and unfailing love. We love You and trust that our prayers will be heard and answered! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
