"In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue" (Ps 120:1-2).
Friend, it is a "deceitful tongue" that will tell you God isn't listening. This has been Satan's goal from creation's birth. The phrase "Hath God said?" is at the forefront of his perverted vocabulary. His entire goal is to make us question the goodness of God. "Is He hearing my cry?" Of course He is! If the very hairs on your head are numbered, what makes you think He's turned a deaf ear to your pleadings and distresses? Only the father of lies would perpetrate such a poisonous thought!
You can never be too far from our Lord's ear.. He can hear you even from the depths of hell: "Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice" (Jon 2:1-2).
You can never be too lost to catch our Lord's attention.. His mercy will always facilitate the opening of His ear to your plea: "This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles" (Ps 34:6)... "But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God" (Ps 40:17).
"Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me" (Ps 50:15).
