It was bedtime. Nealie was about to go to sleep when she saw her grandfather whispering something with closed eyes. When he opened his eyes, she asked him, “What were you saying, Grandpa?” “I was sharing the day’s happenings with God,” he replied. Nealie was surprised. “Does God listen to you?” she asked. Her grandfather said, “Yes. For instance, someone has let me down. But I don’t want to fight with them. So I told God all about it. I feel much lighter already. And when I wake up in the morning, God will tell me what to do. He always does.” Nealie was curious. She asked, “If I share my thoughts, will God respond?” Her grandfather said, “Yes! He knows everything. When something is not clear to you, share your feelings with Him. He will have the answers ready for you the next morning. Do it with faith.” Nealie followed her grandfather’s advice.
