\"\"If you earnestly pray yet are tempted to think that God is not responding, remind yourself that every prayer uttered to God from a heart of honest faith, that is, from a heart that trusts in God\u2019s redemptive love given in Messiah, is indeed answered, and not a syllable goes unheeded or will be lost before heaven. Just as assuredly we believe that no one will get away with evil — that justice will eventually be served and all wrongs redressed at the bar of Eternal Judgment — so we understand that every utterance of the heart of faith finds compassionate response from the heart of heaven. Indeed the essence of teshuvah<\/em> (return, \u201crepentance\u201d) is heartfelt prayer, and therefore when we bring honest words and turn back to accept the truth, God\u2019s mercy and compassion are decisively evoked (1 John 1:9). The most important thing is not to lose faith, however, but to believe that God hears you and will indeed answer the cry of your heart. Decide to believe and settle your expectation. Never give up hope. God is faithful; He will do it (1 Thess. 5:24).<\/p>\n

King David asked for God\u2019s direct and miraculous intervention to heal his soul: \u201cCause me to me hear your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust. Cause me to know the way I should go, for I lift up my soul to you\u201d (Psalm 143:8). David\u2019s request was that he would be empowered to hear God\u2019s loving voice calling to his heart at the start the day, to be assured of God\u2019s kindness and favor. Note that the Hebrew verbs used in this verse are both hiphal imperatives, implying that God is the agent or cause of the action. We lift up our heart in expectation, understanding that the LORD alone is the One who is able to draw us near to Him: \u201cYou [God] cause me to hear… You [God] cause me to know…\u201d<\/p>\n
