He shall hear my voice

Psalm 55 (New King James Version)
17 Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.

How awesome it is to know that God listens to our voices when we cry out to Him. What a comfort it is to go to God in prayer evening, morning and at noon.
We can renew our spirits, we can refresh ourselves all through the day.

A gentleman named Dean Workman encourages us. He tells us: “Prayer Really makes a huge difference in your life!! If you want better relationships, better health, better finances, a closer relationship with God, and a better ability to know how to fulfill God's will, Prayer is the one key that will bring you closer to making those needs a reality.” http://www.praywithfocus.com/?hop=mdaugherty

We have been encouraged to communicate with God since the beginning of time.
Gen. 3:8 says, "And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden."
It feels as if Adam and Eve were accustomed to God being present in the cool of the evening. They hid themselves because of their disobedience.

Scripture encourages us to communicate with God. Scripture states that "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" (James 5:16). A fervent prayer is a sincere, focused prayer, a prayer for the ears of God.
Sometimes we need encouragement about the effectiveness of prayer. Sometimes we need reminders of the many times that God has responded to the fervent prayers of believers.
Names like David, Moses, Hezekiah, King Josiah, Abraham and Paul come to mind when we think of serious prayer warriors.
We can be encouraged by knowing that our living God will answer our prayers
Philippians 4:19 (King James Version)
19But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

But prayer is not just about meeting a current physical, emotional or financial need. Prayer is about the sweetness of communicating with the Holy Spirit. Prayer is about recapturing some of that sense of completeness which is experienced only in the presence of God. Prayer is about joy freely given.Prayer is about the peace of God.

Philippians 4:6-7 (King James Version)
6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I encourage you to not neglect your prayer life. I encourage you to experience the joy freely given to all believers.

May God Forever Be a Blessing in Your Life!!!
