Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence... Hebrews
4:16

Waltz In

I was praying, simple conversation with God, and found myself asking
for something. Again.
I thought, "I am constantly making requests! Wouldn't you think the
Lord would get sick of that? I just waltz in, any time of the day or
night I feel like it, and pray. I thank Him and praise Him; often do
ask for something and assume He is listening."

Many years ago, as a mom of young children, I would try to stop and
listen to my kids when they would come to me to ask, or tell, me
something. I usually did, but not always. Our Father God made us for
fellowship with Him. And yes, He is thrilled and delighted for us to
come to Him, with requests, conversation, thanks, or just come to
enjoy His presence.

Among the thousands of promises in the Bible are those which declare
God hears us, and answers. A few are: Jeremiah 33:3
 Call to me and I
will answer you Psalm 17:6
 I call to you, God, and you answer me.
Listen to me now, and hear what I say. Psalm 6:9
 The Lord has heard
my cry for help; the Lord will answer my prayer. Psalm 91:15
 They
will call to me, and I will answer them.

There's never a time the Lord won't stop and give us His full
attention. In fact, He is just waiting for us to 'waltz in'.
That's good news.
