Jesus Listens When I Pray

📖 “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.”
—Psalm 145:18 (NKJV)

Prayer is not about saying the right words or sounding spiritual. It is about speaking honestly with Jesus and trusting that He listens. When you pray, you are not talking into the air—you are speaking to a Savior who is near and attentive.

Jesus listens when you pray with joy and gratitude, but He also listens when your prayers are messy, uncertain, or filled with questions. He hears you when you don’t know what to say and when all you can offer is silence or a sigh. Nothing you bring to Him is ignored or dismissed.

Knowing Christ means learning to talk to Him openly and truthfully. Prayer is where relationship grows. It is where trust deepens and where you learn that Jesus cares about every part of your life, not just the “spiritual” parts. He listens because He loves you, not because you pray perfectly.

As you talk with Jesus regularly, prayer becomes less about obligation and more about connection. Over time, you begin to recognize His presence, trust His heart, and rest in the knowledge that you are heard.

Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for listening when I pray. Help me come to You honestly, without fear or pretending. Teach me to trust that You are near and that You care about everything I bring to You. Amen.
