God hears you

Many times we think that God does not listen to our prayers, and this because of the fact that we feel we pray and pray, and we do not see materialized what we ask, but we must understand something very important about God, our Lord does not act as we, He knows the perfect and just time. We tend to despair, but in the midst of that despair we are often one step away from what was promised. If you think that God does not answer your prayers, I want you to know that this is not the case, God always listens to His children.

The psalmist wrote:

17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

Psalm 34:17-19

Every person who cried out to God in the Scriptures, God answered them and delivered them from all their fears, because they trusted in God and had God in the first place. In the same way we must learn to trust in God, to believe in God, that no matter how terrible the moment we find ourselves. Let us remember the story of the three young men who were thrown into the furnace of fire, they cared nothing but honor God and knew that for God it was something insignificant to free them from that furnace of fire.

Are you broken? Then it is important that you understand that God is close to you. Are you contrite in spirit? Then you must understand that those who are afflicted God will deliver them from all their afflictions.

We must understand that Jesus has promised to be with us every day until the end, that He keeps His sheep and that none of us will perish in His hands.

When we feel that our prayers rise to heaven and return without an answer, it is normal for the heart to grow weary. Yet, throughout the Bible, we see that delays were never signs of abandonment. Abraham waited many years for the promised son, Joseph spent a long season in prison before seeing the fulfillment of his dreams, and Hannah cried bitterly before receiving the blessing she longed for. In every case, God was working silently, preparing circumstances, shaping character, and aligning everything so that His purpose would be revealed at the perfect time.

Sometimes the greatest battles occur moments before the greatest answers. This is why perseverance in prayer is essential. Prayer is not only a request—it is communion, trust, and surrender. When we pray, our heart is molded, our faith is strengthened, and our perspective begins to see beyond the temporary moment of anguish. God is never indifferent to the tears of His children, for each cry carries a weight that only He can measure.

It is also important to recognize that God answers in different ways. Sometimes He says “yes,” other times “wait,” and on certain occasions, His answer is “no” because He sees what we cannot see. Even when the answer is not what we expected, His purpose is always perfect and His love remains constant. Many believers later give testimony of how God’s “no” saved them from paths of destruction or redirected them toward something far greater than they imagined.

The nearness of God to the brokenhearted is one of the most comforting truths we can embrace. The world often turns its back on those who are weak, wounded, or discouraged, but God draws near to lift, restore, and strengthen. He does not despise a contrite heart; on the contrary, He sees in that humility the soil where faith flourishes and where His power is manifested with greater clarity.

Let this truth encourage your soul: God listens, God sees, and God responds. Even now, while you are waiting, He is working. Even when you do not feel Him, He is close. Even when your heart struggles to believe, His promises remain firm. Continue praying, continue trusting, and continue believing that the same God who delivered the righteous of ancient times remains the same today. His ears are attentive to your cry, and in His perfect time, you will see the salvation of the Lord manifested in your life.
