Answers

Listen to this prayer of mine, God; pay attention to what I'm asking. Answer me—you're famous for your answers! Do what's right for me.

I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me.

That clinches it—help's coming, an answer's on the way, everything's going to work out.

The answer's simple: Live right, speak the truth, despise exploitation, refuse bribes, reject violence, avoid evil amusements. This is how you raise your standard of living! A safe and stable way to live. A nourishing, satisfying way to live.

"I will heal their waywardness. I will love them lavishly. …Those who live near him will be blessed by him, be blessed and prosper like golden grain. Everyone will be talking about them, spreading their fame as the vintage children of God. Ephraim is finished with gods that are no-gods. From now on I'm the one who answers and satisfies him. I am like a luxuriant fruit tree. Everything you need is to be found in me."

“O Israel (put your name here), stay away from idols! I am the one who answers your prayers and cares for you. I am like a tree that is always green; all your fruit comes from me.”

Psalm 143:1 Psalm 120:1 Psalm 20:6 Isaiah 33:15 Hosea 14:4 Hosea 14:8

God does not have to answer our questions, but He will always keep His promises.
