00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.040
<v SPEAKER_00>We are going to start today with good news.

00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:13.839
<v SPEAKER_00>1 John 5.14 says, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:20.399
<v SPEAKER_00>As we focus on God for the next few moments, I want you to reflect on the second part of that first.

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.079
<v SPEAKER_00>He hears us.

00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:32.479
<v 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.

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:38.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Take 15 seconds to thank God that He hears every prayer you pray.

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Clear mind of all pretense.

00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.640
<v SPEAKER_00>The Bible says that we can cast our cares on God.

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:07.280
<v 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.

00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Let's take a minute and share what's really on our heart today.

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:16.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Trust that He is listening with compassion and attention.

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Imagine God leaning in, listening closely.

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.360
<v SPEAKER_00>How does that affect the way you talk to Him throughout the day?

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.400
<v SPEAKER_00>We trust that you both listen and act on our behalf.

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
