Scripture:
“I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”
— Psalm 34:4 (NKJV)
Points:
- Seeking the Lord is active — it means turning to Him above all else.
- God hears not just the words, but the heart behind the cry.
- Fear does not always vanish immediately, but God delivers over time.
- Deliverance often begins with His presence before the problem is resolved.
- He hears every time, and He responds with faithful love.
Poem: He Heard
I opened hands and looked for light.
The fear had filled my narrow room.
I whispered words I barely knew.
And then your presence filled the space.
You heard me though the words were few.
You were not far, not hard to find.
You did not ask for perfect prayer.
You saw the storm beneath my ribs.
You calmed the waves I could not name.
You stayed when others looked away.
The fear still knocked, but lost its grip.
You pulled me out with steady hand.
You taught me how to breathe again.
You showed me where your peace begins.
You sang above the anxious noise.
I sought, you heard, and stayed with me.
You didn’t leave me in my fight.
You didn’t rush or scold my fear.
You met me right where I had sunk.
You lifted me and called me yours.
Today I seek you once again.
Not with a mask or practiced phrase.
But with the heart that needs your help.
And I will trust what I now know:
You hear, you love, and you deliver.
Prayer:
Lord, I seek You today. Hear me and deliver me from the fears I carry. Thank You for always responding in love and staying close until the fear fades. Amen.
