Beforeword: This week, the journey turns inward. After exploring God’s abundance, lifting up praise, and making space for restoration, we now lean into intimacy—not as a concept, but as a lived relationship.

Intimacy with God is not about perfection.

It’s not reserved for saints, monks, pastors, imam or priests. It’s available to each of us—right now, right where we are.

How does our friendships grow? It’s through time spent together, honesty, and presence, so does our closeness with God. He longs to walk with us in the details of our days, to hear our laughter, to hold our pain, to speak to us in the stillness, in the mundane.

This week is an invitation to draw closer—to speak freely, to listen deeply, and to rest in the nearness of a God who delights in you and calls you His son and His daughter—heirs!

Unending Conversations

With all there is to say to God—
the thanksgiving,
the praise,
the adoration,
the questioning…

the joy,
the sorrow,
the loss,
the longing,
the aching…

the wonderings and what-ifs,
the near-misses,
the could-have-beens—

my prayers become
unending conversations.

They unfold with eyes wide open,
or tightly closed,
while I stand still
or kneel low.

Sometimes my hands are folded,
sometimes raised—
sometimes trembling.

My prayers carry emotion
in the shape of tears—
tears of joy,
tears of grief.

They echo in my laughter,
in my sighs,
in the silences that say more than words.

Sometimes,
they are loud like declarations,
sometimes,
soft as a whisper.

And sometimes—
there are no words at all,
just groans,
just breath,
just presence.

And still,
God listens.

The challenge: How to participate

• Choose a consistent time each day—morning, midday, or evening—for your “God Time.”
• Come as you are: with joy, with questions, with nothing to say. Just come.
• Sit in silence, or write a letter to God; take a walk and talk to Him aloud or silently; or listen to worship music.
• This week, don’t strive—abide.
• Let your intimacy with God be less about doing and more about being. He’s already near. Just draw close.
