Description
Some prayers are whispered. Some are desperate. And some are answered before we even realize it.
In the summer of 1984, twelve-year-old Marcy Gibson arrives in the small town of Riverside, Oklahoma, with nothing but her mother, a few belongings, and a heart weighed down by loss.
After fleeing abuse and spending years on the run, Marcy hopes this new place might finally offer safety. But when the women’s shelter they were counting on is closed, fear threatens to rise again—until an unexpected kindness opens a door neither of them anticipated.
Through new friendships, quiet moments of prayer, and a Bible verse discovered in the most unlikely place, Marcy begins to learn that God does not always answer prayers the way we expect—but He always hears them.
Set against the backdrop of small-town life, Hear My Prayer is a tender coming-of-age story about trauma, healing, and the gentle ways God provides refuge through people, timing, and grace.
Inspired by Psalm 54:2—
“Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.”
This faith-centered short story reminds readers that even the quietest prayers reach heaven—and sometimes, we don’t realize we’re living inside the answer until we look back and see how far God has carried us.
