He's the God who listens.



Psalm 130:1–4

Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.

If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

Do you ever felt alone in a room full of people? What makes the difference?

A person who listens.

Do you feel spiritually alone? Do you think who you are means God shouldn't listen?

God knows who you are, but that doesn't change who he is.
Know who he is: He forgives. He cares. When you feel spiritually alone:

He's the God who listens.

When have you felt the most spiritually alone? What does it mean to know that God hears your every need?
