How To Get Closer With God

How To Get Closer With God

We teach that we only truly value what we invest in, our time, attention, and sacrifice, so if we treat God like He’s “free,” our hearts stay lukewarm. We call our church to invest in Him through prayer, the Word, generosity, and obedience because where we invest, our hearts follow. And we remind ourselves that God first invested in us, ultimately at the cross, so our response is worship and commitment. 📺 Watch 'Faith On Death Row', our self-produced prison documentary & over 4+ hours of behind-the-scenes content: https://coreoftheheart.com/supporters...

“He Hears Your Cry” #WorshipTogether

🎙️ Spoken Word: 

“He Hears Your Cry” WorshipTogether

(Jesus, Grace-Filled, Christian Motivation)

[Intro – soft piano with gentle heartbeat rhythm]

In times of trouble…

when no one picks up the phone,

when even your own strength says,

“I’m out.”

Know this:

The Lord hears your cry.

Not the polished prayer.

Not the Instagram caption.

Not the rehearsed worship song.

He hears the real cry.

The one soaked in tears.

The one whispered between panic attacks.

The one shouted in frustration behind closed doors.

Psalm 20:1

“In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.”

[Spoken build – warmth intensifies]

You are not alone.

You are not forgotten.

You are not too far, too broken, too late.

Jesus never said,

“You won’t have trouble.”

He said,

“Take heart. I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

So yes, the storm may come…

But so does the Savior.

[Spoken hook – full of grace]

Grace shows up.

When you run out of words.

When you run out of plans.

When you run out of you.

Jesus steps in.

Not with condemnation —

But with compassion.

Hebrews 4:16

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

[Spoken bridge – soft and intimate tone]

So cry if you must.

Fall apart if you need to.

But know this:

God catches every tear.

Jesus still intercedes.

Grace is still stronger than grief.

[Declaration – bold and uplifting]

You will not drown.

You will not be destroyed.

You will not be defeated.

Because the One who answers by fire

is the same One who whispers peace.

[Closing – calm piano]

So in times of trouble…

may the Lord answer your cry.

Not because you’re perfect —

but because He is faithful.

You cried…

He heard.

He’s coming through.

In His time.

In His way.

Through Jesus, your victory is sure.

Amen.
