Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name:
You are mine.
You are precious in my eyes
And honored, and I love you.

🔥God created us to love & be loved by Him. He always has His attention on us. He knows everything about us. He knows all of our thoughts, words, and actions. He knows what's in the deepest parts of our hearts. Since God already knows what we will pray before we pray, I personally think to most important part of prayer is to LISTEN. 🔥If we listen for God's answer, He for the most part won't use words as He did for Moses & such (sometimes yes but mostly we don't even need words to get the message). 🔥Words aren't even the highest form of communication. 🔥Think of the deepest answers/messages you've received with no words spoken. 🔥I definitely 'hear' answers in silence all the time. I hear the silent "I love you too" from: 🔥my mom when she sets her alarm for 5 o'clock ever morning to wash my clothes & fix me lunch & do countless other things I don't even realize 🔥my dad when he takes off of work early to bring me to every practice and ball game rarely ever missing any type of event I am involved with, never hesitating to put family in front of everything
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 My point is: God's answers to our prayers comes in all different kinds of ways. 🔥God answers by sending us - certain emotions/feelings - continually drawing our minds toward something - placing us in certain situations - allowing certain circumstances to arise - through others { God can answer our prayers by literally using ANYTHING! There is no such thing as a coincidence! }

Why does God allow bad things to happen? When seemingly "bad" things happen in our lives, God is presenting us with an opportunity to grow closer to Him. So many great conversion stories start w/ something "bad" happening which in turn makes us stronger & more faithful. These "bad" things we wish we could avoid, are the perfect opportunities to see that God is saying: I love you and I want to make you better, stronger, and more faithful! We can say we love God all we want, but to SUFFER for Christ proves our PASSION for Him. The word passion comes from the Latin 'passio' which means suffering. At the root of love, you can find one willing to suffer for the one they love : PASSION {The best example being the Passion of Christ dying for love of us}
