Psalm 66:19-20 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

This verse has been stuck in my spirit this entire week. A few days ago, as I read the words of this Psalm, it seemed to leap off the page to me. “He attended to the voice of my prayer… which hath not turned away my prayer”. For some reason, I began to think about all the times I have prayed thoughtless prayers, and yet, He heard and answered even those.

Let’s be honest for a minute. We all have those prayers we pray daily that sometimes become automatic to us. What I mean is that we say them sometimes without really thinking about what we are praying. When I was meditating on this passage, it hit me. I realized that God attends to those prayers as well. He has answered prayers for me that I was not even really thinking about. What an amazingly faithful and wonderful God we have!

The knowledge that He has never turned away my prayer, that His mercy is new and fresh every morning, is almost more than I can wrap my head around! We are blessed… truly blessed with a God who is concerned with the smallest details of our lives. The more I get to know Him, the sweeter He is to me! Thank you God for hearing and attending to my prayers!
