Prayer is Two-Way Communication with God
I read a great quote on prayer,“The difficulty with almost everyone who prays is that he says "amen" and runs away before God has a chance to answer. Listening to God is far more important than giving Him our ideas. “Prayer is a two-way communication relationship with God. Most of us just pray to convey our hearts and desires, without giving God the opportunity to speak to us. Do we always give God the opportunity to speak to us in our prayers? Give time to listen to God's voice when we pray, and God will reveal many things to our lives.“But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.”Matthew 6:6 ESVBe Nice. Grace Wins.

The Very Thing
When Paul said give thanks in all circumstances, he meant ALL. Including the crappy ones. Try thanking God today for the very thing that's keeping you from thanking Him.

Find Him in the Ordinary
We get excited about big blessings, but His blessings are everywhere if we'll just look. The little chats. The slight smile. Even the dogs that need us. All of it is praiseworthy.

Like a Father's Arm
Today is short and sweet because God's love is simple. His love endures forever. I felt it yesterday at treatment, like a father's arm around a son. I am humbled with gratitude.
