Your Answered Prayer is Ready and Waiting

Hope
Do you ever feel as if your prayers dissolve into the vast expanse without reply?

Sometimes, you may repeatedly ask me for the same thing, which can demonstrate dogged determination and persistence, as illustrated in the parable of the persistent widow who continually seeks justice from the judge (Luke 18:1-8). However, anxiously repeated prayers can also indicate a lack of faith, as if you doubt that I have heard you or that I will respond.

Instead, try to ask once in faith for whatever you need, and from then on, thank me for moving and acting on your behalf. Believe that your request is already fulfilled in the spiritual realm and is merely waiting to be manifested in the realm of time and space.

Therefore, pray in faith and then express gratitude that the answer is ready and on its way.

"Then they asked him, 'What must we do to do the works God requires?' Jesus answered, 'The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent'" (John 6:27-28).

With Love Beyond Measure,

God’s never too busy to hear your prayer


He Listens, Always There is no such thing as a small prayer in the eyes of God. No whispered need goes unnoticed, no quiet ache is ignored. Whether your words tumble out with tears or stay hidden beneath silence, the One who formed your heart is already listening.

In this voice-only reflection, you’re gently reminded that you never have to measure your worthiness before coming to Him. He hears the tiniest sigh and holds every request—spoken or unspoken—with deep compassion.

Let this message be a reminder: you are never interrupting Him. His door is always open. His heart is always turned toward you.

With love beyond measure,


💜Author's Note: I would love to personally pray for you. If you have a request, you can share it with me here: https://t.ly/nckbo

God loves to say yes!

 Image of delighted father giving a gift to his daughter who is thrilled. It has the text: Your heavenly Father loves to give good gifts to those who ask Him!  (paraphrase of Matthew 7:11)

I hear you cry out to Me with your heart-wrenching need. I embrace your desperation. But you doubt My intentions and My desire to say yes. I am like any other parent—I love to say yes to anything you ask, and I will if I possibly can.

But do you think I sit behind a huge desk as a judge, preferring to refuse if I can? Do you think of Me as a divine slot machine? You insert your prayer like a token and cross your fingers, hoping upon hope that somehow I might agree and grant your request?

Do you say, “Your will, not mine, be done,” not as a surrender to My love, but with defeat—thinking I could not possibly want, with a father’s love, to give you your heart’s desire?

It’s not that you believe I can’t answer—it’s that you believe I won’t. Yet, just as a loving parent cannot give their child candy before dinner, I cannot say yes to what would bring hurt instead of blessing, or ultimately not be the best for you. My love does not hesitate to give, but it also knows when waiting—or even saying no—is the greater act of care. I never withhold lightly.

But, My child, you do not need to beg. You do not need to plead, bargain, or offer grand sacrifices. I am not waiting for you to prove your worth or to make promises you cannot keep. You do not need to offer Me your firstborn or vow a lifetime of service in desperation. All you need to do is ask.

I am a Father who longs to give good gifts, a Shepherd who listens to the cries of His flock. My love for you is not measured by how hard you struggle or how desperately you plead—it is already boundless, overflowing, eager to bless.

Pray to Me freely and boldly; believe I will say yes if I can. Don’t give up. Your prayers just might change the world.

With love beyond measure,

It's Easier to Guide a Sheep That's Moving

Illustration of a shepherd gently guiding a sheep, emphasizing movement and direction as part of decision-making and faith. The sheep represents individuals seeking guidance, while the shepherd symbolizes a supportive presence
 

Imagine a sheep lying on all fours, completely still. You can try pushing, poking, rolling it over, or even picking it up putting it on your shoulders, but it takes a lot of effort to get that sheep up and moving. Now, picture a sheep that’s already walking. A gentle nudge to the right or left is all it takes to guide it in the direction you want it to go.

In much the same way, when you're seeking direction for your life, it helps to take a baby step forward rather than waiting passively. Movement allows for guidance, one small nudge at a time, leading you toward the best path. This approach doesn’t require a grand or miraculous revelation—just a willingness to stand up and start moving.

For example, if you’re seeking clarity about finding a life partner, consider this:

How to Move a Mountain with a Mustard Seed

Do you bemoan your lack of faith? Are you trying to muster it up but find yourself still full of doubts?

Life brings mountainous challenges that can feel too difficult to climb. Whether it's a troubled marriage, an illness, or a financial difficulty, you can become overwhelmed and feel powerless.. 

Faith is not the absence of doubt. Instead, imagine the faith you think you need, and take 5% of that. It is all I require. That tiny “mustard seed” of faith can grow into something magnificent. It is what moves mountains (Matthew 17:20). Faith is not about size but sincerity.

Even the smallest seed of faith can grow into something magnificent. Every step, no matter how small, is a step toward moving that mountain. Your tiny faith is powerful enough to change the world.

 "…If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).

Please leave a comment below on your experience with faith or doubt.

With love beyond measure,
