Jesus, Hear Me. Amen.

Carly PrayingJesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” (ESV)

“Jesus, hear me. Amen.” These four short words spoken by my 2-year old granddaughter Carly is her prayer before she eats and at bedtime. We all giggled when we first heard her say these words but the more I thought about her simple prayer, the more I realized just how power packed these few words are. I mean think about it, just the Name of Jesus alone is powerful and magnificent!

He’s an on Time God

Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. Micah 7:7

I was working at a law firm earning a very good salary. The only drawback was that it was far from home. The commute was long and Houston traffic made it longer. I would leave early in the morning and come home late in the evening and didn’t get to spend much time with my children. After eighteen months of doing this I began to pray about a new job closer to home.
