God, hear my prayer; listen to the words from my mouth. Psalm 54:2 CSB
Have you ever noticed how hard it is to listen? Especially in a world that is filled with distraction and a lack of focus, listening becomes work. It doesn’t come easy, it requires work, discipline, and the desire to be a good listener. In today’s verse, there is an assumption that God doesn’t need to work at listening — it’s part of His nature. God wants to hear from you. God looks forward to your conversations. God is never distracted, too busy, or doesn’t have the time for you. He is always waiting and available. The distraction for connection is never on God’s end. Where is God inviting you to deal with distraction so that you can stay in the connection relationship that He desires?
Psalm 54 CSB
Prayer for DeliveranceFor the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?”
1 God, save me by your name,
and vindicate me by your might!
2 God, hear my prayer;
listen to the words from my mouth.
3 For strangers rise up against me,
and violent men intend to kill me.
They do not let God guide them.Selah
4 God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my life.
5 He will repay my adversaries for their evil.
Because of your faithfulness, annihilate them.
6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you.
I will praise your name, Lord,
because it is good.
7 For he has rescued me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked down on my enemies.
