SPEAKER_00: We are going to start today with good news.
SPEAKER_00: 1 John 5.14 says, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
SPEAKER_00: As we focus on God for the next few moments, I want you to reflect on the second part of that first.
SPEAKER_00: He hears us.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it feels like prayers go unheard, but God is attentive, listening with care, not just to your words, but to your heart.
SPEAKER_00: Take 15 seconds to thank God that He hears every prayer you pray.
SPEAKER_00: Clear mind of all pretense.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says that we can cast our cares on God.
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't say that we have to put them in a nice box with perfectly formed sentences, and only then we can come to Him.
SPEAKER_00: Let's take a minute and share what's really on our heart today.
SPEAKER_00: Trust that He is listening with compassion and attention.
SPEAKER_00: Imagine God leaning in, listening closely.
SPEAKER_00: How does that affect the way you talk to Him throughout the day?
SPEAKER_00: We trust that you both listen and act on our behalf.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
