Ep. 80: Pray Like You Mean It

Many of us pray without ceasing, but maybe we need to stop and simply say, “Thank you.”

When you pray like you mean it, you believe God heard you the first time. You ask, then you pause and receive your answer, without any proof. You trust that your prayer was heard, that once you hit the Send button, it arrived and you don’t have to keep pounding on the keyboard to deliver it.

The next time you pray, pause and acknowledge that you have complete confidence in a God who loves you. That God will give you “this, or something better.” I don’t always understand the “something better” part right away, but I trust that God heard my prayers and that the Universe is unfolding exactly as it is supposed to without me grabbing the steering wheel from God and trying to drive it somewhere else.

Real faith isn’t praying without ceasing. It’s believing that God heard you the first time.
