Lost and Found: How a Simple Invitation Led Leslie to Faith
February 21, 2025Listening to God’s Guidance: How Changing Her Name Marked a New Beginning
February 21, 2025Craig has an unusual prayer routine—he prays in the car wash. “I get about 45 seconds when there’s nothing else to do,” he explained. In those brief moments, he’s not asking for anything. He’s simply expressing gratitude.
“What a great life you’ve given me, God,” he whispers amidst the rumble of the water jets.
For Craig, prayer isn’t about how long or deep it is—it’s about making the connection. “If God only gets 45 seconds from me, maybe He’s happy I even give Him that,” he mused.
Finding God in Everyday Life
Craig’s approach reveals a profound truth: prayer is not confined to church pews or quiet rooms. It can happen anywhere—in traffic, at sunrise, or even in a car wash.
“It’s like if you were dating someone and only spoke to them once every few years—how close would you be?” he laughed.
To him, prayer is about sustaining the relationship with God—not through elaborate words, but through simple, daily moments of connection.
Seeing God’s Glory in Every Moment
Each morning, Craig steps outside with his dog, looks up at the sky, and marvels at God’s creation. “What a glorious day, what a glorious God you are,” he proclaims, whether the skies are clear or stormy.
One morning, under an overcast sky, he hesitated. “No glory today,” he thought. But then, he felt God respond:
“This is My glory too.”
That moment changed his perspective. He realized that God’s presence isn’t just in the beautiful, sunny days—but also in the cloudy, difficult ones.
Prayer Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect—Just Sincere
Craig’s reflections remind us that there’s no bad prayer.
“For you to decide to pray, you have to make it a priority, even if it’s just for 45 seconds,” he said with conviction.
Through his small but consistent moments of gratitude, Craig has discovered a powerful truth: God is always there—waiting, ready to listen.
