I know this is normally where I post a devotional, but this month I want to do something different.  

It has been an incredibly hard and busy season for me, and I know I’m not the only one. I want you to know that I’m praying for you.  I may not know your name, but I am praying that everyone who reads this would receive an extra dose of God’s love and grace today.

Why?  Because God loves you so much.  He cares so much for you.

And because I am so grateful for you!  You care enough about what I say to take time to read this.  That is huge!  And that means so much to me.  You may not understand just how much it means to me.

But I have prayed for you.

Did you know Jesus prayed for you, too?  Check it out, in John 17:20-26.  I want to emphasize verse 26 (ESV): “‘I [Jesus] made known to them your [God’s] name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.'”

No matter what we are going through, Jesus loved you so much to pray for you (and then die and rise again to save you from eternal punishment).  God loves you so much that He loves hearing from you.  Nothing is too big and nothing is too insignificant for God.  You can talk to Him about anything.

Yes, I have prayed for you, but if there is something specific I can pray for, please hit that “Contact” button above and let me know what it is.  Your requests will be completely confidential.  

If there’s nothing specific, just know that God loves you.  And I do, too.
