We do not work in our own time. God has an appointed time for everything and that is not up to us to decide. When he opens a door, even if you are afraid, walk through knowing that the same God who brought you to the door, will take you through the door.

God hears our heart
When we are low on words or feel like God is distant, we must remember God will even hear our faintest cries and he will come to our rescue. Take assurance in the fact that God will never leave you, nor forsake you and as his child, you have direct access to him even when you feel unheard.

On a Personal Note – Prayer Changes Everything…
When we take time to really learn the character of God, it changes how we see Him and our prayer life. We recognize that He is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. He is everywhere. He knows all. He is all-powerful. And despite all of our flaws and struggles, God still desires to connect with us through prayer.
The Power of Prayer
Prayer is a vital aspect of our relationship with God. Through prayer, we can deepen our faith, align our will with God’s will, and express gratitude for His blessings. As we communicate with God regularly through prayer, we can experience the joy and peace that come from knowing Him more intimately.
