I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. Psalm 17:6
Isn’t it a wonderful blessing that we have someone who is always there to hear our deepest concerns, worries and needs. But more than that, he is there to talk to about anything. Even everyday concerns. When I first started praying, I was worried that my some of my prayers were not important enough to bother such a mighty individual as God. As my prayer life deepened and grew, I learned that God wants to hear from us about everything and anything. For me, this began with “Thank you” prayers for everyday blessings I encountered. This then led to conversations with God to talk over my day and hopes for myself and others. If you are feeling restless, unsettled, or even the opposite… very blessed and excited about an event or promotion for example, reach out to God. He is ready and willing to listen to everyone at any time.
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. Psalm 145:18
