So often it’s the small prayers that are answered, yet we overlook them. We long for great signs and wonders to prove God’s hand at work, when in truth, His care is revealed in the simplest of moments—if only we pause to notice.

It may seem trivial to some, but this morning I was using an old can of textured paint to restore a worn torch pedestal. The paint was so aged that it continually clogged the sprayer. In quiet desperation, I prayed, “Father, please let this work so I don’t have to buy another can.” Instantly, the sprayer cleared and worked flawlessly until the project was complete.

God answers prayer. He hears us when we call out to Him, and in return, we must learn to listen when He speaks.
