1 Peter 3:11–12 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

Thought for the Day: God Is Aware Of Your Situation

Reflection for the Day: Your Prayers Are Being Heard

As Paul shared with those at Rome, Peter reminds us of the importance of eschewing evil and doing good. He adds to his exhortation, words of great comfort. Those that act in righteousness have the assurance that God is aware of their situation and is listening to their prayers. They can anticipate a response to their cries.

All prayers are not received equally by God. Those that live righteous have the joy of knowing that God is both aware and concerned of their condition. As you walk holy before the Lord, be assured that His ears are open to your prayers. Pray with the expectation of a positive response.
