1 Peter 3:12
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their prayer…
Today was quite a day. A planning session around good Mexican food (because nothing makes planning better than chips and salsa!) and then a quick trip to the bookstore that turned into a 5 hour stay as I set up a new computer and got it configured to run wirelessly so they could connect to the good ol’ world wide web. It wasn’t that it was hard, it’s just that it took a while to get rid of the old machine, connect all the cables to the right places, and then allow the hardware to acquire the wireless signal so that the famous Google logo would pop up on the screen when they clicked the blue E. Yippee.
The point of all that rambling, believe it or not, wasn’t to encourage you to get a Mac, although I do think they work quicker out of the box. The point is that the longer I waited, the more thankful I became for the truth of this verse. It takes absolutely no time for us to connect with God, because He is always – repeat that to yourself, always – watching us and listening to us. No matter how crazy the day has been, whether good crazy or bad crazy, our prayers never have to suffer as a result. He is watching, listening, and ready to act on your behalf.
Think about that. How does knowing He is attentive to your prayer change the way you pray? It makes me even more confident that what I say, He’ll hear. That what I ask, He’ll understand. And that what I need, He’ll give.
