DAY 4 OF 7

DM with God - Connect anytime, anywhere

Just like a DM (direct message) allows us to have instant communication with someone, God wants to continually connect with you.

Prayer is our way of DMing with God – of getting personal. It is two-way communication – sending and receiving. Talking and listening. Anytime, anywhere. No wifi needed.

There is no wrong question with God, no TMI, no filtering needed. It doesn’t matter if you mess up your words. Unlike google translate, God knows your heart and perfectly interprets you. Sometimes we don’t even know what to say, and that’s totally ok, you can even just use emojis.

God doesn’t mind how you communicate, just that you do.

God is always online and ready to listen and respond. He loves to hear from you and loves to share His heart with you.

You can have a conversation with God by speaking, writing, drawing, journaling, singing, reading the Bible, speaking the Bible, enjoying creation, reflecting on the day together, remembering who God is and what He has done, thanking Him, and just being together as friends – no words needed.

Try this today…

  1. Get a blank piece of paper.
  2. Write about something in your life to God.
  3. Listen or imagine what He is saying back to you – write it down.

Prayer – God, thank you that you listen and speak to me. Help me to do the same to you.
