I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. - Psalm 116:1-2

God delights in his children coming to him in prayer. There is no other time that's more intimate than prayer. It's where we come face to face in a matter of speaking to which we can pour out our hearts in such a way that's raw and unfiltered and yet brutally honest. Once we have released our burdens to him he graciously respond to us in ways we can not understand and yet the peace he gives comes over us like a tidal wave of mercy. It restores our soul to a place of comfort and deep strength that compels us to continue our journey. When David wrote this Psalm that was the connection he felt as he declared his love for God. The Lord's faithfulness and provision in response to David cries for help created a lasting impression and a wellspring of hope in his heart. We too can have that kind of connection with our heavenly father because of what Jesus did for each of us on the cross of Calvary. Cast your cares apon the Lord for he is faithful to meet us in that special place and give us what we need according to his plan and purpose for our lives.
