Dear Warriors...Today's text comes from Psalm 139:2: "You know my thoughts even when I’m far away." This is a powerful reminder that even when we feel distant from God, He knows us intimately, including the deepest parts of our hearts and minds. And when we allow Him to speak to us, He can also reveal Himself in incredible ways.
Take the story of the woman who was struggling with depression. She had been following God faithfully, but life had thrown her a series of setbacks that had left her feeling discouraged and hopeless. Her brother tried to encourage her with biblical promises and stories of perseverance, but it was only when he reached out to his friends to listen for God's voice on her behalf that she received a message that truly spoke to her soul.

What's remarkable about this story is that none of her friends knew her situation. Her brother gave them only her first name and asked them to listen to God independently of one another. And yet, each one of them received a message from God that spoke directly to her circumstances. They all spoke of God's love and care for her, and the promise that she would overcome the challenges she was facing.
This is the power of listening for God's voice on behalf of others. When we take the time to tune into the Spirit and listen for what He is saying, we can bring incredible encouragement and comfort to those who are struggling. And when those messages are personalized and speak directly to someone's circumstances, they can be incredibly powerful.
It's important to note that these messages were all based on biblical truths. God's promises are the same for all of us, and we can all find hope and encouragement in them. But when we listen for God's voice on behalf of others, we have the opportunity to bring those promises to life in a very real and personal way.
So I encourage you to take the time to listen for God's voice on behalf of those around you. Whether it's a friend who is struggling with depression, a colleague who is facing a difficult decision, or a family member who needs direction, you can be the vessel through which God speaks directly to their circumstances. And in doing so, you can bring hope, encouragement, and comfort to those who need it most.
Let us pray: Heavenly Father, help us to tune our hearts to your voice and to listen for what you are saying on behalf of those around us. May we be vessels of your love and encouragement, speaking words of hope and truth into the lives of those who need it most. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
