When You Pray

Published: Dec. 11, 2022, midnight

b'It doesn\\u2019t matter when you pray. It can be early in the morning or the\\nmiddle of the night. It can be on a good day or a hard day. It doesn\\u2019t\\nmatter when, God hears you no matter what.\\n.\\nIt doesn\\u2019t matter where you pray. You can be at work or school when you\\ntalk to God, or you can be at home alone. You can pray while you\\u2019re in the\\ncar or having lunch with a group of friends. It doesn\\u2019t matter where you\\npray, God hears you no matter what.\\n.\\nIt doesn\\u2019t matter how you pray. You can say a few simple words when you\\ndesperately need Him. You can get down on your knees and say a long prayer\\nwhen you\\u2019re feeling grateful. You can pray alone or with others who share\\nyour faith in Jesus. It doesn\\u2019t matter how you pray, God hears you no\\nmatter what.\\n.\\nThe book of Psalms is full of prayers, and many of the psalms were written\\nby David. In Psalm 55, David says that when he cries out in the evening,\\nmorning, and noon, God hears him. And in Psalm 61, David says that even\\nwhen he cries out to God from the ends of the earth, God hears him.\\n.\\nYou never have to be afraid that your prayers will go unnoticed. God hears\\nyou no matter when, where, or how you pray. \\u2022 Bethany Acker\\n.\\n\\u2022 Have you ever felt like you needed to pray a certain way, or at a certain\\ntime, or in a certain place? Have you ever wanted to pray, but you didn\\u2019t\\nfeel like you could? How can today\\u2019s Bible verses encourage us to pray\\nwhenever, wherever, and however? Consider taking a moment to talk to God\\nright now.\\n.\\n\\u2022 As Christians, we have the joy of knowing God personally through Jesus.\\nSo, when we pray to God, we\\u2019re not just crying out to the all-powerful\\nCreator of the universe, we\\u2019re also talking to our friend who loves us and\\ncame in human flesh to live among us. Because Jesus died on the cross and\\nrose from the dead, everyone who puts their trust in Him can have a\\npersonal relationship with God. So, when we pray, we can know that God\\nunderstands what we\\u2019re going through, and He cares about us deeply. How is\\npraying to God (who revealed Himself through Jesus) different from praying\\nto another god?\\n.\\nEvening, morning and noon I cry out\\u2026and he hears my voice.
