Do you feel pressured to get still, be quiet and hear what God is saying to you today? Do you long to hear His voice? Are you desperately needing or wanting answers? Or are you just doing life, day by day, hour by hour without joy, without peace, unaware of your need for, or the availability of a connection with God, who has all of the answers? He longs for you to have joy, peace, and “the answers” even more than we understand. Then we come to Him for friendship and relationship. More than anything, He just wants time and space with you.

I encourage you, even for a few minutes, to let go of striving, trying to do it all, be all, figure it out . . . lean back, breathe deeply and rest in Him. It is the beginning of the process to reveal His Original Design of you!

Think of that person or even a pet that you just love being around, that brings you joy just seeing them, and especially hugging or holding them! That is also our God, He longs to hug us, hold us, just be with us . . . and impart His peace, His love! Also in our time with God, He answers our questions,(spoken and unspoken), speaking words of wisdom to us and reminders of His promises. In His timing, He may also share secrets, treasures.

• Jeremiah 33:3 (MSG) ‘Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.’
• Isaiah 45:3 (NIV): I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
• Philippians 4:7 (AMP) And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
• Phililppians 4:7 (MSG) - Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

What is the question you are asking? May it be the question He longs to hear; “Hey God, Can we hangout??”
