Prayer Thoughts for the Heart

How often do you sing? Just on Sunday morning at church or occasionally in the shower? If our mind is fixed on God very often, we will be singing every day.
God never sleeps and is ready to hearing our songs of prayer when we are stressed out, sad, weary, tired, sick, fearful, or during any storm that may be brewing in our life.

We should try humming a tune if we don’t know the words. It is amazing how it can gladden our heart and give us the joy of the Lord when we are unhappy. But, we should sing when we are happy, too.

In the Book of Psalms, we can read where King David sings to the Lord that his heart is fixed on God, no matter what his circumstances are. David also calls out to his soul to awake and sing praises to God. Awake and see God’s mercy and truth. Cry out for His help in a humble way and be specific.

We sing to our babies when they are sad, or hungry, or needs our caring comfort, or a glad heart. Our babies coo a sweet sound of love to us and we get so excited and get a happy heart.

We sing hopeful songs at a funeral and it gives us a glad heart at a sad time. Most people enjoy music at any time and any place.

Singing to yourself or listening to music will gladden your heart no matter what, and will change the expression on you face as it sinks into your soul. Bless yourself with a song today.
