Have you ever felt like no one was listening to you? It can be hurtful when we feel that those around us are not listening to us. Everyone wants to be heard, but what about those times when it feels that God is not listening? Have you ever cried out to God and it seemed he wasn’t there? Did it feel as if God wasn’t listening? Maybe you wondered God where are you?
Main Points:
1. Today, I’m going to ask you to grab ahold of the promise of God that He does hear our prayers. Our God is listening. Even if it feels as if God doesn’t hear, we can be assured that our great God hears every prayer.
2. Sometimes the cry of our heart is not verbal, it’s an inner cry. Many times we carry this burden and this heaviness with us all the time. Others see us with a smile, not knowing the cry that is on our hearts. But God hears the silent cry. God hears the cry no one else hears.
3. Our God is not indifferent and uncaring. Bring your needs to Him. He loves us and listens to the cry of our hearts.

Genesis 21:15-19 - “When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she began to sob. God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.”
