God created us with love, wisdom, and purpose, yet in the rush of daily life, prayer is often the first thing we set aside. When hardship comes, we quickly question God’s presence and blame Him when things fall apart. But how often do we pause to reflect on how little time we spend with Him before trouble arrives?

God calls us to pray and follow His word, yet we fill our days with everything except time with Him. We work hard, chase goals, and hope for blessings, while slowly creating distance by trying to handle life alone. Closing that gap begins when we turn our focus back to God and make space for prayer again.
