I was standing at the kitchen sink a few days ago washing dishes and started praying. I felt a burst of guilt because I hadn’t been taking my morning quiet time with God lately. I can pray anywhere and at any time, but something about sitting quietly and undistracted with Him feels so much better. Yet, at that moment I felt God say “I’m just glad you’re here.”

It was a good reminder for me that He’s not looking for my performance or my idea of a “perfect” prayer time. He just wants… me. And He just wants YOU!

If it’s been awhile since you’ve prayed or sat quietly in your morning bible study/prayer time, just go to Him now. In any way, any where..He’s ready and waiting.
