"Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him" Job 22:27

Have you ever been preoccupied with a concern for a friend, family member or a future occasion so much so that you find yourself committing it to prayer constantly during your day? Does it seem to become an obsession? Our lips and thoughts are directed upward to heaven with our request ... "Please Lord, in earnest, I implore You..." Possibly we state: "Dear God may I ask that You ..." If those words have ever come from your mouth, hundreds of times, you are not alone.

The amazing fact is "He shall hear thee" Job 22:27.

More often than not, we are in a state of uncertainty, anxiety when this happens. Yet, in the midst of our personal turmoil, God hears us. When we feel abandoned or cast down, God is there to hear our voice and send comfort. It may be that direction is given. "the light shall shine upon thy ways" Job 22:28. Or maybe God will fortify us, provide support "thou shalt be built up" vs 23.

We can most certainly identify with these verses in Job. "There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble" Job 22:29.
