Have you ever felt like you aren't being heard by God? 

You have prayed, prayed, prayed, and prayed.... and then, prayed some more. 

Yet, NOTHING CHANGES.

It is one of the most frustrating things to me. I have been in this place multiple times in my life. I have even asked God, "Can you not hear me or something?"

I have come to realize that I tend to talk to Jesus more when I want something from him. 

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone when they only want you when they need something?

It can really bring you down.

People want to be loved and wanted at all times, not just when you need something from them. 

I think Jesus is the same way.

He loves our praise and love.

When is the last time that you have just talked to him to tell him how much you love and appreciate him?

Do you ever just glorify him for what you do have? 

Sometimes I think we overcrowd our minds with

what WE want. 

what WE need.

what WE desire.

When our minds are so focused on ourselves, we tend to tune out everything else around us.

We get selfish and make decisions based on how we feel in the moment. 

What about HIM? Do we consider how HE feels? 

How can you expect to hear from Jesus when you are so busy doing/listening to everything else?

Jesus hears you. 

Your prayers aren't going unheard.

Your tears are being bottled up every time you cry.

He is with you. 

He is for you.

Sometimes I think his silence draws us closer. 

Put work behind your prayers.

You don't go to work every day and get paid if you just sit there. You have to do your job.

Do the work. 

Read your Bible. Fast. Pray. Worship. Thank him for what He is doing.
