Prayers Going Up to God

Scripture: Revelations 8: [4] The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel’s hand.

Observation: I love this image of my prayers going up before God. That the creator of everything hears my prayers and I know he answers them. I don’t know why God would care to hear me, but I know he does.

Application: To continue to pray and to seek God’s will for my life. To talk with my Father and to understand what would please him. To sit still and listen to what he has to tell me and then express my love and gratitude for all he has done for me.

Prayer: Dear Lord I love to talk with you and know that you listen to me. Draw me closer and show me how to hear your voice guiding my life. I love you Father, may I draw nearer to you.
