This prayer will change everything, friend!

For many years I lived in a house with several rental apartments. The landlord, an older man who was very good at fixing things, watched all our comings and goings. He saw when I left the house, who visited me and also when I came back tired in the evening after a performance. Nothing escaped his notice. 

When my shutters suddenly stopped working, I knew I would just have to let him know and he would take care of it. But somehow I never felt like it. Have you ever felt this way, friend?

Even though the solution was so close, I accepted living with the problem instead of dealing with it. Okay, maybe I was also afraid he would look at the problem and say, "I can fix it, but you'll have to pay the cost. After all, it's your fault."

friend, the Bible says that God is “... the God who sees me...” (Genesis 16:13 NIV). 

He is a God who looks at me. He knows about me. “You have searched me, Lord , and you know me.” (Psalm 139:1 NIV) 

Imagine God for a moment like my landlord, always watching, noticing everything. God sees your worries, your comings and goings, and also your pain.

Why don't you just tell Him about your problems, friend? Just let Him know and He will take care of it. 

And consider this: With God, you don't even have to be afraid of the bill because the price has already been paid! “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” (1 Peter 1:18-19 NIV) 

You can accept to live with your problem, or you can talk to the One who has already paid the price!

friend, will you consciously entrust your problems, indeed your whole life, to Jesus anew today? You have the possibility to talk with the One who knows you very well, sees you and loves you anyway! 

We are also welcome to talk with Him together in prayer:

"Jesus, thank You that You see me—and still love me. I ask You for forgiveness for my sins and for a renewed relationship with You. Here is my heart; I give it to You completely. In 2024 I want to live fully with You and for You! You are all I need! I love You and belong entirely to You! Amen."

You are a miracle!
