Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! Psalm 116:2 NLT
The Psalmist cried out honestly in Psalm 116 when he was afflicted and in distress. The cords of death had wrapped around his soul, and his eyes overflowed with tears. In this state of anguish, he was resolute that he would continue to pray. Why? Because he understood the nearness of God who bends down to listen to our faintest cry. And when words are not enough to express our sorrow, our very breath speaks. I encourage you to cry out to God as long as you live. He is compassionately devoted to you as, he bends down to listen to every prayer breathed from your heart.
The song below has helped me during such times, so I wanted to share it with you. Please listen and relax. Close your eyes and slowly breathe…
