Voiceless Prayers
1 Samuel 1:12-13 (NLT) As [Hannah] was praying to the Lord, Eli watched her. Seeing her lips moving but hearing no sound, he thought she had been drinking.

It matters only that Jesus hears your prayers, for Only He can understand what your heart is saying when your emotions won’t allow you to audibly express what you are going through. Jesus is the Only One Whose immediate Presence is with you. He is the Only One Who can and will give you the immediate attention you’re in need of. Jesus – He is the Only One – Who can hear the words being spoken by your tears, your bent over body, your pains, your feelings of being lost and defeated. Your voiceless prayers form no words, yet they reach the sovereign ears of Jesus, and they are precious to His heart. When Jesus goes before the Father on your behalf, God sees you in great love, and His love for you is wrapped up in the splendid glory of His Son. May you have peace in knowing that every prayer you pray – especially the voiceless ones – are heard in Heaven…and they will be answered.
