You heard my plea:“ Do not close your ears to my cry for relief.”

you heard my plea,‘ Do not close your ear to my cry for help!’

They caused poor people to cry out to him. He heard the cries of those who were in need.

God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help.

This poor man called out, and the Lord heard him. He saved him out of all his troubles.

In the same way, the Holy Spirit helps us when we are weak. We don’t know what we should pray for. But the Spirit himself prays for us. He prays through groans too deep for words.

“ Go and speak to Hezekiah. Tell him,‘ The Lord, the God of King David, says,“ I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. I will add 15 years to your life.

Get away from me, all you who do evil. The Lord has heard my weeping.The Lord has heard my cry for his mercy. The Lord accepts my prayer.

Manasseh prayed to him. When he did, the Lord felt sorry for him. He answered his prayer. The Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God.

Lord, I cry out to you for help. In the morning I pray to you.Lord, why do you say no to me? Why do you turn your face away from me?

I love the Lord, because he heard my voice. He heard my cry for his help.Because he paid attention to me, I will call out to him as long as I live.

Everything about Manasseh is written in the records of the prophets. That includes his prayer and the fact that God felt sorry for him. It includes everything he did before he made himself humble in the Lord’ s sight. It includes all his sins and the fact that he wasn’t faithful to the Lord. It includes the locations where he built high places. It includes the places where he set up poles used to worship the female god named Asherah. And it includes the places where he set up statues of other gods.

I call out to the Lord. He answers me from his holy mountain.

But God has surely listened. He has heard my prayer.
