Psa 116:1–2 (NLT) – “I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!”

God does not respond to prayer from a distance; He responds with nearness. The psalmist says God “bends down to listen,” a picture of compassionate attention. Heaven is not passive when you pray; the Lord leans toward your voice. To hear is awareness, but to bend down is care.

Scripture shows this divine stooping again and again. God said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people… I have heard them crying… so I have come down to rescue them” (Exod. 3:7–8). Hannah prayed silently, and the Lord heard her (1 Sam. 1:13,19–20). Blind Bartimaeus cried out, and Jesus stopped for him (Mark 10:48–49). God is never too great to stoop for someone who cries out in faith.

This is our confidence today. Psalm 116 says, “I will pray as long as I have breath.” When you know God listens like this, prayer becomes a lifeline, not a last resort. A God who stoops to hear you is a God who stands ready to help you.
