WE WILL BE HEARD IN HEAVEN

I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you. May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.

Psalm 141:1-2

When we call upon the name of Jesus for help, he is already present and the whole kingdom of heaven is listening. Our prayers are like incense before the throne of God. We do not even need to have strength to lift our hands to him, and he already rushes to our aid. As we kneel at the communion table and receive the bread and wine, we are assured that the body and blood of Jesus were given and shed for us. In this visible word we receive the assurance of the forgiveness of sins. We remain in the peace, joy and freedom of the Lord. Our prayers were heard.
