Psalms 28:2. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
Is that the way you pray, dear friend? I know there are some that, if they have uttered certain good words - got through a form of prayer - are perfectly satisfied. As to whether God hears them or not, that does not trouble them. But if you are a true child of God, it will be your main thought in prayer, "Will he hear me? Will he hear me? Will he answer me." And you will think nothing of a prayer at all unless you have the comfortable, believing persuasion that yore’ prayer has reached the car and heart of God. Oh! believe us, for some of us do know, by experience, that prayer is a real thing. It is no repetition of words. It really is the heart speaking into the ear of God; and God does graciously respond when prayer is truly offered.
