Overview

Every day. Every minute. Every situation. He is the God with us. But, oh my soul, be prepared for the encounters with Him to surprise you. We want to pray - to hear God better, and to know His will for all the messy, mundane details of our life. But does He still speak to us when we are distracted, grumpy, overwhelmed, and unprepared? How can we have ""quiet time"" with God when there's no quiet, and no time? Can we really know the will of God and move forward in obedience, in spite of fears and failures? And, if we're really honest with Him, will He strike us with lightning? Or will we end up praying with boldness and authenticity like never before?
