Day 13 of 30—Morning, Noon, and Night - Hearing God's Voice Through Prayer
Good morning, guys. Welcome to day thirteen of the 30-Day Prayer Challenge.
I truly believe God has something great for you today. As you keep seeking Him—and as you stay faithful to this challenge—God is making a difference in your life. He’s transforming you. And I believe He’s going to begin to speak to you in powerful ways… maybe even in areas you haven’t really heard Him before. It’s going to change your life.
And if you don’t feel like you’ve heard the voice of the Lord the way you want to yet—friend, don’t give up. Keep pressing in. God longs to speak to you and do tremendous works in your life.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 55:17 (NLT)
Let’s jump into today’s scripture. It’s Psalm 55:17, and I’m reading it from the New Living Translation:
“Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.”
Let me read that one more time because that’s powerful:
“Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.”
Do you see the promise in that verse? It’s clear: if I cry out to the Lord, He will hear my voice.
Yes, I want to hear His voice—and I do—but I want you to understand something: God wants to hear your voice too. He wants to know you. He wants to be with you. He wants your heart. He wants that connection.
And the scripture says, “in my distress.”
That means in the places where I’m discouraged… in the things I don’t understand how to handle… in my fears… in my anger… in those places of turmoil in my life.
But it doesn’t stop there.
Even in seasons of joy—when things are going well and I’m happy—I need to learn to cry out to the Lord. And when I cry out, the Lord will hear my voice.
God always moves near to the man who cries out to Him. He always moves close.
The Pattern: Morning, Noon, and Night
Now there’s another key in this verse, and it’s right at the beginning:
“Morning, noon, and night.”
The writer of this psalm had a pattern to his prayer life.
And listen, I’m challenging you to take ten minutes a day. You can absolutely take more than ten minutes—but you can also take different time slots throughout your day.
He said, “I pray morning, noon, and night.”
Today’s Challenge: A Prayer Check-In
So here’s my challenge for you today: have a prayer check-in.
Maybe you take your normal ten minutes of prayer in the morning like we’ve been talking about. Or maybe you do it late at night before bed. Whatever your routine is—keep it.
But why not make today a little different?
Just resolve in your heart and commit to the Lord:
“God, I’m going to check in with You morning, at lunch, and at dinner. In the morning, in the midday, and at night—I’m going to cry out to You, and You’re going to hear my voice.”
That’s a biblical pattern. And God is bound to hear you—He will do that.
Reflection Question
Here’s the reflection question for today:
What part of your day needs prayer the most?
Even if you can’t do all three time slots today, think about it honestly.
Is it lunchtime after you’ve dealt with customers all morning? People you work with? Stress? Pressure?
Is it the evening after the hard work of the day when you’re trying to wind down, but your mind is still racing?
Or is it early in the morning when you first wake up and you need your heart ready and prepared?
What time do you most need prayer?
Make that your special check-in time today. And if at all possible—check in morning, noon, and night.
Let me read it one more time:
“Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.”
My friend, He’s going to hear your voice too.
