God Hears, but So Do You · Brain Spa

  Your prayers are never ignored, they are interpreted and
• 0:04
  sometimes the first answer God gives is guidance and not
• 0:09
  gratification. Today's scripture is coming from
• 0:13
  first John chapter #5 verse 14, and this is the NIV it reads.
• 0:19
  This is the confidence we have in approaching God, that if we
• 0:24
  ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
• 0:30
  Let's go deeper. Most people think prayer is just
• 0:35
  about God hearing us. But real spiritual maturity is
• 0:39
  recognizing prayer is also about us hearing ourselves, our
• 0:46
  motives, our desires, our impatience, our fears, our
• 0:52
  longing, and our growth. Sometimes the delay isn't a
• 0:58
  denial. It's direction, it's
• 1:01
  redirection, it's correction, and it's protection.
• 1:05
  But listen to this. You don't pray to force
• 1:09
  outcomes. You pray to stay attune, to stay
• 1:14
  sensitive, receptive, and in spiritual living.
• 1:20
  You are not begging God, you are partnering with Him.
• 1:25
  You're not powerless. You are participating.
• 1:28
  And maybe the plan didn't unfold the way you hoped.
• 1:33
  Maybe the door didn't open. Maybe the timing felt off.
• 1:38
  But you were still held, still heard, still guided, and still
• 1:43
  becoming the version of you that can carry what you are
• 1:47
  expecting. Because sometimes God answers by
• 1:52
  holding the blessing until the blessing won't break you.
• 1:58
  And here's today's reflection moment.
• 2:01
  Think about this today. Where have I confused no answer
• 2:07
  with no movement? What message might be hidden in
• 2:12
  the delay? Which prayer do I need to
• 2:16
  revisit, not to force it, but to understand it more clearly?
• 2:31
  And here says declaration, say this with her.
• 2:36
  I am heard even when I don't see movement yet I am guided even
• 2:42
  when the path feels uncertain. I release the pressure to
• 2:47
  control outcomes. And here says prayer.
• 2:51
  God, thank you that we can come to you with boldness and
• 2:54
  honesty. Thank you for hearing us fully,
• 2:58
  our words, our emotions, our desires, and even our doubts.
• 3:04
  Help us tune our hearts to Your rhythm so we don't just seek
• 3:08
  answers, but understanding. Give us the grace to trust your
• 3:14
  timing and the courage to embrace your direction and
• 3:18
  wisdom to recognize when You are guiding us, not delaying us.
• 3:23
  We believe clarity, strength and alignment our unfolding force,
• 3:28
  and we thank you for always making sure that when that
• 3:32
  happens that we are triumphant and victorious in everything
• 3:36
  that we pursue. We thank you for making sure
• 3:39
  that we are all whole and complete with nothing missing,
• 3:41
  broken or lacking. And we thank you also for making
• 3:45
  sure that everyone who is near dear to our heart, our partners,
• 3:48
  our spouses, our siblings, everyone, our kids, we thank you
• 3:52
  for making sure that everybody is covered and protected.
• 3:56
  We thank you for these things and match this name of Jesus to
• 3:58
  Christ our King. We do prayer, Amen.
• 4:01
  God bless y'all. I love you and I hope you have a
• 4:04
  fantastic day today. Y'all, take care.
• 4:09
  Well, last thought, sometimes the answer is a yes or no.
• 4:12
  It's listen differently before you go.
• 4:16
  If this message hit home, share it with someone.
