  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 0:16
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 0:23
  - Hello, and welcome to today's daily prayers with
• 0:26
  - Valerie Rocha.
• 0:27
  - Today's prayer topic is making room for God
• 0:31
  - and comes from Psalms forty six ten.
• 0:34
  - That reads be still and know that I
• 0:36
  - am God.
• 0:39
  - You know, sometimes our lives become so crowded
• 0:42
  - that there's little room to notice what God
• 0:44
  - is doing.
• 0:46
  - Have you ever noticed
• 0:48
  - the crowded schedules,
• 0:50
  - thoughts,
• 0:52
  - hearts?
• 0:53
  - And even after releasing something from the past,
• 0:56
  - we can quickly fill the space with another
• 0:58
  - responsibility,
• 0:59
  - destruction, or worry.
• 1:02
  - Empty space can feel uncomfortable,
• 1:06
  - much like
• 1:07
  - silence.
• 1:09
  - We are accustomed to doing,
• 1:11
  - solving, planning, and moving.
• 1:15
  - But if we are constantly filling
• 1:17
  - every available space,
• 1:19
  - we may struggle to hear what God is
• 1:21
  - saying in the quiet.
• 1:26
  - The power of prayer doesn't always require more
• 1:28
  - words.
• 1:30
  - Sometimes we need to become still.
• 1:33
  - Put down the phone,
• 1:35
  - turn off the noise,
• 1:37
  - both inward and outward,
• 1:39
  - and sit quietly before God.
• 1:43
  - Don't rush to fill the space.
• 1:46
  - Just make room for God
• 1:49
  - and listen to that still quiet voice.
• 1:53
  - That being said, let's pray.
• 1:56
  - Heavenly father,
• 1:58
  - we ask that you quiet the noise around
• 2:00
  - and within us.
• 2:02
  - Show us what has been occupying space that
• 2:05
  - belongs to you.
• 2:07
  - Teach us to become still in your presence
• 2:10
  - and attentive to what you want us to
• 2:13
  - see,
• 2:14
  - and we will bless you in Jesus' name.
• 2:16
  - Amen.
• 2:20
  - Give God five
• 2:22
  - interrupted minutes a day.
• 2:25
  - That's today's challenge.
• 2:28
  - No scrolling,
• 2:30
  - no multitasking,
• 2:33
  - no long lists of requests.
• 2:36
  - Just simply become steel.
• 2:39
  - And if you desire a community that helps
• 2:41
  - you develop intentional rhythms of prayer and scripture,
• 2:44
  - you're invited into the inner chamber community.
