Have you ever felt that your prayers were bouncing off the floor of heaven, like heaven was totally silent? You know that’s not true, right? As children of God, we have a Father who is always there for us. A Father who is ready to give us His undivided attention while He listens to us. We can talk with our Daddy, our Abba.
I want you to realize something though. When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray He never instructed them to say, “Amen!” He was telling them that they should have a continual conversation with their God (1 Thess. 5:17). Jesus gave us a tremendous gift, the gift of coming into the presence of and communicating with our Father every minute of every day. We can talk to our Abba while we’re driving on the freeway, doing dinner dishes, walking the dog, and so on. We don’t have to wait until life gets frantic to talk with Dad.
No, your conversation with your Dad doesn’t bounce off heaven’s floor. It goes straight to His heart. “For God so loved…” remember that verse? Your Father loves you and wants to hear from you, not just when things go bad; but all the time. He wants to share life with you, even your every day routine type of stuff.
Remember this truth, “You will become like what you focus on and what you focus on only gets bigger.” I know you know this, but it needs to be said again. Christianity is not a religion. It’s a relationship. How’s yours? Who are you focusing on today?
