I remember being so heart broken that I couldn’t even find the words to pray anymore. It was just silence from my lips and brokenness from my heart as the tears would roll down my face. It was tough seeing others prayers get answered but for some reason mine seemed to hit a brick wall.
One day I began to think about the Faith of Hannah in the Bible found in I Samuel chapter 1. Every year her faith took her back to the temple one more time to pray. Her prayer became silenced because her heart was so heavy. Eli seen her lips move but there were no words heard. He did not understand her grieving heart but God understood every unspoken word.
I pinned the words to a song titled, “God Still Hears.” It was literally just a song to remind myself that God still could hear my prayers even when I didn’t have words. Now that my prayer has finally been answered, the song has a whole new meaning to me. Now it’s a Testimony from myself to others of God’s faithfulness.
I found out that my miracle baby loves music. So today I was playing the piano with one hand and holding him with the other and singing for him. He loved it! I decided to video so his daddy could see his reactions. I began to sing this song that I had written so many years ago. I had to fight back the joyful tears as I sang it to my answer to prayer. He was captivated and was even trying to sing along with me. You can’t hardly hear him in the video until the very end but it was so precious. Even though it’s terrible video quality and despite my messy bun, one handed piano playing, and some rough vocals, I still felt like sharing this special moment with you.
I want you to know that God does hear your heart’s cry . God does see the tears you shed. God does feel the heartbreak that you experience. When you feel like you don’t have words to describe to Him your pain, just let your heart talk to Him. He will help you walk in Faith.
