I was sitting on the floor in my closet yesterday (my usual prayer spot) just trying to block out distractions and spend time with God. Worship music was playing from my phone, and the room was dark and quiet.
Then I felt something soft brush up against me. It was our cat, Tobias. He had quietly slipped into the closet and started purring and rubbing against me like, “Hey, I just want to be with you. You’re my person.”
It made me laugh a little… and then it made me think. That’s exactly what God wants from me. Not some perfect prayer or fancy words - just me, showing up, wanting to be near Him, because He’s my person.
I think sometimes we make time with God more complicated than it needs to be. But really, He’s just looking for that simple, wholehearted love. The kind that says, “I’m here because I love You, and I just want to be with You.”
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” – James 4:8
