Today’s Scripture
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
1 John 5:14, NIV
He Hears
Are you living frustrated because your prayers aren’t being answered the way you want? Your plans aren’t working out? Take the pressure off. God is in control. He’s still on the throne. You’re not always going to understand it. If you did, it wouldn’t take any faith. You could save yourself a lot of frustration if you’d learn to have unconditional trust. The closed doors, the disappointments, the delays—it’s all working for you. And yes, it’s good to be determined. Be persistent. But let God answer your prayers His way. If He’s not changing it, not removing it, not opening it, don’t fight it. Learn to embrace where you are. He’s given you the grace not just to be there but to be there with a good attitude. If you’re going to pass the test, keep a smile on your face. Keep a song in your heart. Keep passion in your spirit. Don’t drag through the day the Lord has made. He’s working out His plan for your life. He’s going to get you to where you’re supposed to be.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the privilege of coming to You, the Creator of the universe, and being able to ask You for the things that are on my heart. Thank You that You hear me and are faithful to bring Your will to pass. I believe and declare that the answer is on the way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Many Christians make the mistake of thinking that God is too busy taking care of the “big things” to be interested in the little problems they are facing.
But God is not like that. He is not just God Almighty, He is also your heavenly Father who loves you! To God, whether it’s a new pimple on your face, a sore throat, or an aching back, no matter how trivial or commonplace it sounds, if it troubles you, He wants to take care of it!
If, as the Bible says, God bothers to keep track of how many hairs you have on your head, then there is no symptom, no discomfort, and no condition in your body that He doesn’t know of or care about. His love for you is all-encompassing, personal, and in-depth. There is nothing in your body or life too small that you can’t bring to Him and watch Him take care of!
