God is Near

What I am learning from the book Running Scared by Edward T. Welch...

God does not listen to our prayers because of our worthiness or the quality of our prayers. He hears because He is the God Who Hears. It is better to not be consumed with how often or how long you pray, a better approach is to "know God as the One Who Hears and remember the many stories of how he listens". "Every instance of God hearing is followed by his mighty acts."

Today I am thankful for...
  • Another beautiful day.
  • My friend Shannon.

Dear heavenly Father, I love you. Help me to remember to take time out to pray and spend time just being quiet before you. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
